FSG's staggering price tag to sell Liverpool as John W. Henry open to selling club

Liverpool are at the centre of stunning developments after it emerged Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are looking to sell the Premier League giants.

It's believed FSG have asked Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to assist with the sale. It's unclear at this stage how many parties are interested in buying the Reds or when a deal is likely to be done, although we do have a rough idea of how much FSG want.

As revealed by Mirror Football, FSG rejected a huge £3billion bid to buy the club in April 2021. It's understood that offer came from the Middle East, with other parties keeping a close eye on the situation in case principal owner John W. Henry changed his mind.

It now appears that day has come, with The Athletic reporting FSG are looking to sell. In response, they issued a statement saying: "There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool.

"FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club. FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch."

Any sale would almost certainly be worth in excess of £3bn, given that figure was not deemed enough to tempt FSG to sell in April 2021. There's a possibility it could be much more than that. Chelsea were sold by Roman Abramovich to a consortium led by Todd Boehly in May for £4.25bn and Liverpool are likely to be valued higher than the Blues.
