According multiple reports, Liverpool FC‘s owners Fenway Sports Group have ‘several investment offers’ in the place for them. Prominent reporters have named that ‘big media companies’ were being targeted for investments. The situation was claimed to be near the closing stages of the deal back in April. However, there haven’t been any reports since then.
It’s been almost a year since the news emerged that the FSG were looking for offers to sell the club. The Liverpool fans have made their feelings about the owners very clear, they want them out. It has further intensified after the club’s disappointing performance last season. One of the main reasons for which was their ageing midfield. Many people claimed such a downfall to be inevitable for Liverpool because of their lack of signings.
How have FSG disappointed the Liverpool fans recently?
It is for a fact that Liverpool are amongst the clubs who have spent the least in the transfer market in the last few seasons. According to reports, Liverpool rank at 19th in Premier League for overall spendings on signing players. Therefore, it’s very important for the owners to give a big budget to Jürgen Klopp to complete the rebuild that the club desperately needs. As a result, the FSG are looking for cash injection to allow big spendings this summer.
Sports finance journalist Alex Miller has claimed on Friday that “well-placed sources” maintain the club have “several investment options” in place. He has said “A deal is expected to be completed ‘over the summer’.”(sic). It was earlier also reported that F1 owners, Liberty media were in talks for a deal but nothing happened there.
Liverpool fans still hope that the investment deals happen in time, which would boost Liverpool’s plans for the summer transfer window. However, they also have the fear of being disappointed again, as they have experienced in the past.
