Liverpool owner, John Henry insists the Premier League club is not for sale but says talks are ongoing about external investment.
Fenway Sports Group (FSG), of which Henry is the founder and principal owner, said they were interested in investment in November following a report which claimed they were inviting offers to buy the club.
But rumours have persisted that there was an openness to a full takeover with reported interest from the Middle East and Henry has now clarified his intention to keep hold of Liverpool, which FSG have owned since a £300m purchase in 2010.
Henry said: “Yes. Have we sold anything in the past 20+ years?”
Liverpool’s owners, FSG, have received outside investment before, agreeing to sell a stake in the company in 2021 to private investment firm, RedBird Capital Partners for a reported £533m.
Under FSG’s ownership, Liverpool have won the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup twice. The club have also won the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and the Community Shield in that time.
FSG also owns Major League Baseball’s Boston Red Sox and the National Hockey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins.
FSG came out with a statement in November in response to reports that they had enlisted the help of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to sound out potential buyers over a sale.
Chelsea had just been sold to an investment group led by Todd Boehly for £4.25bn and reports were emerging that the Glazers could be open to investment in, or the sale of, Manchester United.
“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,” a statement read.
“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.”
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp welcomed the news that FSG were looking for investors in November and praised the owners for the working relationship they have cultivated since he arrived at the club in 2015.
“Everyone said he [Henry] wants to sell the club, what I read is we’re looking for investors.
