A fresh takeover update has now emerged for Liverpool. It suggests Fenway Sports Group may need to change their plans if they are to sell the club.
That’s according to the Liverpool Echo, who claim the American owners are yet to receive any concrete interest which warrants real progression.
As per the report, while there has been interest in the club, there has been ‘nothing real’ which has led to next steps being taken.
It is believed that John Henry was leaning towards keeping a majority investment and thus an overall control of the Merseyside outfit. However, this was as long as the right investment and partner could be found moving forward.
Thereby, this suggests FSG may need to change their plans if they are to receive any interest worth progressing further.
FSG may need to change their plans
The club going up for sale came at a really bad time for Jurgen Klopp.
After years without solid investment into his squad, it has become more imperative than ever that the Reds add a whole host of quality players to their ranks.
However, with FSG planning to sell, it is unlikely they will be willing to sanction numerous big-money arrivals at Anfield.
Instead, they would possibly tell Liverpool to wait for their next round of investment, as they claim they don’t have the funds to do so.
Although Cody Gakpo has already joined this month, the January window without an additional midfielder would be an absolute disaster.
At this rate, there is no guarantee Liverpool will secure a place in the top-four. Without Champions League football, the club may struggle to recruit, and they will also miss out on the money that accompanies the continental competition.
