According to The Athletic, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have put Liverpool up for sale, with the Mirror claiming that a £4bn asking price has been set.
Another story – again from the Mirror – states that John Henry and Mike Gordon believe they cannot compete with sides like Manchester City and Newcastle anymore from a financial aspect.
Now, an interesting detail has emerged – this time from a highly reliable source in the Boston Globe, which is owned by Henry.
FSG taking on less responsibility at Liverpool
Well, do Henry and Gordon already have one foot out of the door?
The latter seems to fall into that category for sure, based on what the Boston Globe are reporting.
The Henry-owned publication claims that Gordon is now taking on less responsibility at Liverpool, which suggests the American is starting to think about his life after the Reds.
It is also said that Billy Hogan – Chief Executive Officer at Anfield – will cover for Gordon in the meantime, although sources close to the Boston Globe state that this move is not related to a potential sale of the club.
Nevertheless, it is certainly an interesting development.
Who could buy Liverpool from FSG
According to the Liverpool Echo, Josh Harris and David Blitzer – who own an 18% share in Crystal Palace – could form a consortium with Sir Martin Broughton to take over from FSG.
The American duo would have to ditch their involvement at Selhurst Park, however, due to a conflict of interests.
The Athletic add that four Dubai-based groups have made contact regarding a bid, but all of them failed to show proof of funds upon request.
As things stand, the situation remains up in the air, and Jürgen Klopp will surely want a swift resolution before the uncertainty begins to have an impact on his role.
