The future of Liverpool is unclear, as according to the English media, the owners of "The Reds" are looking for new shareholders, and a part of the club is for sale. The prestigious "The Athletic" reported that the current owners of Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group, have opened the doors to potential bids for ownership of the team. FSG bought the club in 2010 for £300m, while its current sale could generate over £4bn.
The American company stated that it still remains 100% focused on "Liverpool's success on and off the field", but did not deny the news of the opening of offers. In the 12 years of the club under the direction of FSG, "The Reds" have managed to win 8 trophies, 6 of which under the direction of coach Jurgen Klopp.
Jurgen Klopp's assistant, Pep Lijnders, commented on the situation. The latter said:
"It is nothing new for a club to seek new investors. Everyone who has seen us in recent years, everyone who knows us as a club, knows that we have a close relationship with the owners. We have as much information on the news as you (the media). The owners always act in the best interest of the club."
Lijnders added:
"For me, they are good owners, and I will explain some reasons. First, they managed to keep in the club for 7 years plus, one of the best coaches in the world. Second, they managed to keep the best players in the team. And what's more important, we have a stable academy... They've made some pretty good decisions. We have won many international cups and awards."
Meanwhile, a large part of the club's fans have demanded that the leaders of Liverpool consult with them, for any decision regarding the future of the club.
