Latest Liverpool takeover as FSG enters ‘secret talks with US-based buyer after Ambani decision
Liverpool takeover latest as FSG enters ‘secret talks with US-based buyer after Ambani decision clears path for $79.5bn rumoured next owner.
Despite a number of parties appearing to rule themselves out, it is still unknown who Liverpool’s next prospective owner may be, should a full sale be approved by FSG.
An update from a Reliance representative claims that rumors of Mukesh Ambani’s interest in a full acquisition of the Reds are untrue (ABP News).
Fans may be left wondering who exactly is left who is capable of taking the team to the next level as the pool of affluent owners without severe human rights concerns linked is shrinking.
One candidate that has come up is Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft and current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, who is worth $79.5 billion. Front Office Sports claimed that Ballmer may challenge the aforementioned Indian billionaire for the Merseyside-based giants.
It’s worth pointing out that the links to the American are tenuous at best, though there’s certainly some logic around the idea of Fenway handing over the keys to a compatriot.
Latest Liverpool takeover
Liverpool owners FSG are looking for £4 billion to sell Liverpool.
However, new reports claim that FSG are in talks with a buyer from the United States over a possible sale – and at a cheaper price than previously quoted.
The Daily Mail claims that the US-based buyer, who is unnamed, has been in discussions with FSG over potentially acquiring the club in a full takeover deal for a fee of £2.7 billion, as per two sources.
And it is also reported that the price was decided by examining the dynamics behind the sale of Chelsea, which occurred at a fee of five times of the club’s annual revenue at the time.
A US investor has already been mentioned as a possible investor candidate, with The Athletic’s Matt Slater claiming that Boston Celtics and Atalanta co-owner Stephen Pagliuca could be in contention.
