The search for fresh investment into Liverpool will 'likely hot up' over the next couple of months, according to reports.
Reds owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) – led by principal owner John W. Henry and chairman Tom Werner – announced back in November that they were looking at selling the club they bought in 2010.
There has been talk of interest from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the USA – where FSG are based – although no clear front-runner to take over has yet emerged.
It had been said that FSG would rather to give up a minority stake in Liverpool, but Sports Illustrated reported earlier this week that an outright sale is still their preference.
In any case, per the Liverpool Echo, February and March could see things gather pace as would-be investors 'potentially make their moves formal'.
The report adds that among the parties thought to be interested is Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment – whose founders Josh Harris and David S. Blitzer both already have minority stakes in Crystal Palace.
It's been a big couple of years for takeovers in the Premier League: Chelsea and, to an ever greater extent, Newcastle had mega-money buyouts in 2022 and 2021 respectively – while official bids to purchase Manchester United from the Glazer family are believed to be 'imminent'.
