Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is in discussions regarding the sale of a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club to a consortium spearheaded by British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia. FSG, which has owned Liverpool since 2010, previously indicated openness to new investment in 2022, stating they would consider new shareholders under the right terms and conditions if it served the best interests of the club.
At that time, FSG noted that they had frequently received expressions of interest from third parties. While a full sale did not materialize, an agreement in 2023 with Dynasty was valued between £82 million and £164 million. FSG described this deal as a means to help offset bank debt incurred from infrastructure projects, including the redevelopment of the Main Stand, the Anfield Road end, and the club's training ground at Kirkby.
FSG president Mike Gordon had emphasized the group's long-term commitment to Liverpool, stating the goal was to further strengthen the club's financial position and sustain ambitions for continued success on and off the pitch. Following this, FSG explored the possibility of acquiring a second European club to diversify its portfolio, a multi-club model similar to those operated by Chelsea and Manchester City. However, after evaluating potential acquisitions, including Spanish clubs Malaga and Getafe, and French club Bordeaux, FSG reportedly abandoned this approach. The departure of Michael Edwards, the former Liverpool sporting director who had been rehired to lead the multi-club project, coincided with this shift. The club's current sporting director, Richard Hughes, is managing the team's summer transfer strategy and has a contract until 2027, though he is rumored to be considering a move to Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool's principal owner, John W Henry, has publicly scaled back his direct involvement in club matters since acknowledging his role in the European Super League project in 2021.
