The Premier League powerhouse Liverpool won’t see a change of ownership anytime soon. That is at least what club’s owner John Henry, the head of Fenway Sports Group, told Boston Sports Journal in a recent interview.
Back in late 2022, Fenway Sports Group officially announced its intention to bring outside investment to the club. At the same time, several reports claimed that the group is also exploring a potential sale of their entire stake in Liverpool with the help of banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
Now, however, Henry says that there is no intention to sell the club, but still kept the door open for a potential investment.
“Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling Liverpool? No,” Henry told Boston Sports Journal. “Are talking with investors about Liverpool? Yes. Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won’t be a sale. Have we sold anything in the past 20-plus years?”
Henry and Fenway Sports Group bought Liverpool in 2010 for a price of £300 million. Experts estimate that if sold today, the club would fetch a price north of £2.5 billion that Todd Boehly and his group of investors paid for Chelsea in the summer of 2022.
Liverpool is one of the most successful clubs in the history of English soccer, having won the domestic title 19 times alongside six UEFA Champions League trophies.
