£3.2bn Liverpool takeover could smash all records as John Henry and FSG stance revealed
John Henry appears to have left the door ajar for a Liverpool takeover that could smash the all-time record.
The Fenway Sports Group president last sought investment in the club in 2022, getting investment bank Goldman Sachs and Morgan S✨tanley on board to explore possible options.
But the search ended in September last year when FSG sold a minority stake to Dynast Equity in a deal worth between £8🌄2m and £164m.
Henry bought Liverpool for £300m in 2010 and there has been no indication that h꧅e wants a 𒈔return on his investment just yet.
But the latest news from Boston could suggest that his stance on Liv🌜erpool’s future is not as waterti𒐪ght as some might suspect.
John Henry doesn’t rule out Liverpool takeover
When asked by the whether he is considering selling any of his 𓃲sports assets, the 74-year-old issued what some might perceive to be an ambiguous response.
While Henry was quick to offer assurances about the future of his baseball side Boston Red Sox, he stopped short of explicitly confirming his long-term plans for Live🐽🔜rpool.
“My wife and I live and work in Boston,” he said.
“We are committed to the city, the region. So the Sox are not going to come up for sale. We generally don’t sell assets.”

Liverpool takeover could be worth £3.2bn, experts say
According to a recent study condu𝓡cted by industry experts , Liverpool’s enterprise value st⭕ands at £3.2bn.
That figure, which has riseꦿn by seven per cent over the last y♔ear, makes them the fifth most valuable club in world football.
Theoretically, if a sale was to go through at that price, itꦗ would be the most expe🐼nsive football takeover of all time.
It would comfortably eclipse the sum that American investor Todd Boehly paid for Chelsea in 2022.
The headline figureও of that deal was £4.25bn due to Boehly’s plans to 🌜invest £1.75bn in the club, but the true value of the takeover was around £2.5bn.
