Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group are still in the market to sell a share of the club but there has been no update since it was reported that the American group were open to some sort of sale.
It was reported by The Athletic back in November that FSG had put Liverpool up for sale but in the time since the Reds owners decided that they are no longer interested in a full sale of the club but will still welcome investors, states the Mirror.
One group that was reported to be interested in taking over a majority share of the club was Qatar but reports from the Middle East have now stated that FSG refused to sell a part of the Reds to the country and therefore they have moved their interest over to Man United.
Qatar are expected to put a £4bn bid in for the Manchester club before Friday’s deadline as the Red Devils move closer to a full takeover.
This move from FSG will go down very well with most Liverpool fans as the Merseyside club cannot lose the values it holds by selling to a country with a terrible human rights record.
The search for investment continues for Liverpool’s owners as they look to take the Reds back to the top of English football.
Journalist’s latest transfer update will be music to ears for Liverpool fans
Journalist Dean Jones has provided an exciting update for Liverpool supporters regarding the club’s plans for the January transfer window.
Jurgen Klopp has already acquired attacking reinforcements in the form of Cody Gakpo, who was linked with a move to Manchester United before Liverpool swooped in and secured the deal.
The Netherlands international will be key to helping bolster the squad whilst the likes of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota recover from injuries.
However, an area that is significantly depleted in the Liverpool squad is the midfield; Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita often struggle to maintain their fitness levels and Klopp regularly deploys youngsters Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho, both of which are still adjusting to the pace and physicality of the Premier League.
Liverpool on the market for a midfielder
Speaking on the Ranks FC podcast, Jones has discussed the prospect of a new midfielder arriving on the red side of Merseyside this winter. He said: “Liverpool have got multiple problems right now. They are going to address the midfield issue in the transfer window I am told.
“They are on the lookout for something that can work, and we’re expecting two midfielders to be signed in 2023. We’ll see what level of player they end up signing, but Gakpo is the sign of intent.”
