A potential price tag for Liverpool FC, a fixture change and an apology from referee Michael Oliver to Jurgen Klopp both feature in today’s news round up.
The figure FSG want for LFC?
A journalist from the United States has claimed to reveal new information on FSG’s plans to sell Liverpool, including a “genuine suitor” from America.
According to CBS’ Ben Jacobs, writing on Twitter, FSG “would prefer a full sale,” and “those familiar with the process” expect that “may happen sooner rather than later.”
He claims that “FSG expect Liverpool to sell for close to $1 billion more than Chelsea,” with a valuation standing at around £3.1 billion.
“The expectation, from those familiar with the process, is offers of $3 billion and above will be seriously entertained,” he adds.
“But the growing volume of interest should result in a higher sale price should a chosen bidder progress.”
However, Jacobs adds: “A full sale is by no means certain.
Dave Powell, The Liverpool Echo‘s Business of Football writer has also published a story today claiming that Harris Blitzer Sports are interested in buying the club, but no conversations have taken place.
