According to Bloomberg, Liverpool are on the list of clubs that the Qatari state could look to invest in as PSG’s owners look to become players in the Premier League.
As we all know, QSI are one of the richest and most powerful ownership groups in world football today. They transformed PSG from relative minnows to genuine European superpowers bringing the likes of Neymer, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe to Parc des Princes in recent years.
Now, they’re looking to get a foothold in the Premier League, and Liverpool are one of the clubs they’re considering buying a stake in.
The Reds aren’t the only team on their list though. Manchester United and Tottenham are also being considered, and initial talks with Daniel Levy are thought to have already happened.
However, with Liverpool’s recent success and FSG’s willingness to find a new minority investor, investment at Anfield may well be their best bet here.
There may well be a problem in that the Reds’ fanbase may not be wholly accepting of Qatari-money being invested into their club. After all, Liverpool is a club that prides itself on its morality and working-class roots, so investment from an oil state may not be welcomed with open arms.
However, with that being said, QSI do have some semblance of understanding of what it means to be a true football fan – they didn’t back the Super League after all when that was launched, so perhaps they could embrace what it means to be a part of Liverpool Football Club.
Whether or not any of this comes to fruition remains to be seen – we had similar rumours about Leeds United a few years ago that came to nothing, but with FSG looking to sell a stake in the club, this could certainly be one to keep an eye on.
