Wednesday brought news of a possible investment strategy from the Liverpool owners, along with more speculation about Jude Bellingham and Naby Keita.
FSG plans to expand in multiclub model
There has long been talk of Liverpool’s owners, the Fenway Sports Group, branching out to acquire another football club, while there have been suggestions they could invest in other sports as well.
Earlier this month it was claimed that the FSG could be among the interested parties in Brazil’s Atlético Mineiro, although the reports were nothing more than speculation.
However, The Guardian has now reported that FSG are among the owners “looking to set up a multi-club network started by Manchester City’s owner, City Football Group”.
Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke and FSG figurehead John W. Henry are said to have “explored adding clubs in and out of Europe to their portfolios”.
There is no word on a potential timetable for future acquisitions, nor the markets that FSG would study, but investors RedBird Capital are already majority shareholders in AC Milan and Toulouse.
City Football Group often used its network of clubs to recruit young players from foreign markets and send others on loan to gain first-team experience, which would almost certainly attract Liverpool.
