the owner of LiverpoolJohn Henry, said this Monday that the club is not for sale, contrary to what a statement published in November last year could suggest.
“I am aware that there have been many debates and claims about the LFC (Liverpool FC), but I stick to the facts: we have only formalized an ongoing process,” said Henry, chairman of Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the company that controls the english club to Boston Sports Journal.
“Are we going to stay in England forever? No. Are we selling Liverpool? No. Are we talking to investors about the LFC? Yes. Is something going to happen? I believe so, but it won’t be a sale.”
FSG has been Liverpool’s main shareholder since 2010, when it spent 340 million euros to control the club, which at that time was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In November last year, the group appeared to open the door to a sale through a statement in which it acknowledged having “received frequent signals of interest from third parties who wanted to become shareholders of Liverpool”.
“The FSG has previously made it clear that, given the proper terms and conditions, we would consider new shareholders,” it added.
