Senior FSG sources have dispelled the myth surrounding Qatar-led investment into Liverpool, though a trusted source has revealed the new likeliest outcome that’ll be greeted warmly by Jurgen Klopp.
Fenway Sports Group signaled their desire to explore a full or partial sale of Liverpool back in November. The American owners bought the Reds for £300m back in 2010, though the value of the club has increased ten-fold to around £ 3 billion in the 12 years since.
Speculation has swirled over an alleged imminent takeover by QSI (Qatar Sports Investment). QSI is led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi who has been the president and figurehead at French giant PSG since 2011.
However, the Athletic’s James Pearce has now debunked rumors of a full takeover. Instead, the reliable journalist outlined the new most likely outcome.
According to Pearce, FSG’s search for new investment is relatively unchanged, and anyone hoping for breaking news on that front will be disappointed.
FSG remains ‘open’ to outside investment, though senior sources’ within the group have dismissed claims of an impending outright sale.
US banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are ‘continuing to sound out investment,’ while FSG is ‘not in a hurry’ to sell.
The most likely outcome of the Liverpool takeover has been stated.

The most likely outcome of the Liverpool takeover has been stated.
FSG has come under fire from certain sections of the Reds fanbase due to Liverpool’s limited spending power in the market.
Jurgen Klopp’s side is in desperate need of regeneration, especially in the midfield. Other positions have been addressed, with three recent signings named on a five-man list of players Liverpool’s next iteration should be built around.
However, the German boss continues to stress the money simply isn’t there for further January arrivals when quizzed in press conferences.
That’s led to disquiet among the Anfield faithful with on-field performances noticeably dipping this season.
However, if FSG gets its wish and receives outside investment, the most likely scenario is that Liverpool’s market purse strings will be loosened.
With Klopp still pushing for Jude Bellingham to be the main attraction in a midfield revamps next summer, any outside investment will be welcomed on Merseyside.
