FSG confirm they’re “exploring sale” & another Salah award – Latest LFC News

Liverpool’s chairman has confirmed they’re “exploring” the sale of the club, Mohamed Salah‘s trophy collection just got a bit bigger and Jordan Henderson eulogised about Jude Bellingham to an ex-Red.

 

Chairman confirms FSG “exploring sale” but “no urgency”

Liverpool chairman and FSG founder Tom Werner has confirmed that they are “exploring a sale” for the club, but was quick to say that “there’s no urgency” on the matter.

News of FSG putting the club up for sale emerged 11 days ago and we continue to discover more as time ticks by, with Thursday relaying the news that there has been “a lot of interest” in the club.

The same source, Boston Globe, which is owned by John Henry, has since brought forward quotes from Werner, who is the most high-profile figure to comment on the situation.

“We’re exploring a sale, but there’s no urgency, no time frame for us, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s business as usual,” Werner told the Globe.

“One outcome could be our continued stewardship for quite a while.”

When it comes to the short and medium-term future of the club, that it is “business as usual” is significant for Liverpool, especially ahead of two vital transfer windows.

Werner’s words are further confirmation of what we already know but straight from the source itself.

There can be no rushing the process and with a valuation in excess of £3 billion, the right buyer will take time.

 

Premier League interest for Doak?

  • Ben Doak, fresh from making his senior club debut and signing his first professional contract, has reportedly attracted loan interest from Nottingham Forest – it’s unlikely, but says plenty about his talent.
  • Mohamed Salah won the Fans’ Player of the Year at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, and it left the Egyptian “grateful” to receive votes from the “most important part of football.” Add it to the cabinet, Mo!
  • Fabio Carvalho has left under-21s Portugal coach “disappointed” with how he handled his withdrawal from the team, sending only “some SMS messages” instead of a phone call. A strange situation.
