Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, are considering a partial sale of Liverpool rather than a full takeover of the club, which could benefit the Merseyside club in the future.
News broke last month that American owners had put the Reds on the market for £2.7bn and the Daily Mail reported that representatives of Saudi Arabian and Qatari consortia have already expressed interest in buying the club.
In the time since that announcement, the Glazer family have also declared their intentions to sell Manchester United, which is highly problematic for the Merseyside club as the Manchester club is likely to be seen as a more attractive club from a financial point of view.
The Boston Globe has now reported that FSG remains open to takeover offers, but has made a change to its sale plans.
According to the American outlet, FSG is in talks with a wide range of suitors who are interested in buying all or part of Liverpool.
The report states that a partial sale of the club is now seen as a more likely outcome for the Reds, and FSG is open to this potential scenario.
Liverpool’s owners could link up with another North American-based partner and any investors “would have to be philosophically aligned with FSG’s fiscal principles and team-building philosophies.”

The new investors would help the Premier League giants raise funds for new signings to help Jurgen Klopp’s side keep pace with their rivals in England and across Europe.
A partial sale could be highly beneficial to Liverpool as the co-owners could invest now and gain experience running the club alongside FSG, before taking full charge of the Merseyside club later on.
