The owners of FC Liverpool apparently want to buy the next football club. But its owner probably has something against it.
Are the owners of FC Liverpool soon adding the next football club to their portfolio? As The Athletic reports, there are talks with the Spanish club FC Getafe.
Accordingly, the Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has contacted owner Angel Torres. Specifically, it is said to be about a takeover that is to take place gradually.
FSG took over FC Liverpool in 2010
Not for the first time Torres is confronted with a possible purchase interest. The 73-year-old, who bought the club in 2002, was relaxed in an interview with the Spanish radio station COPE. “Now it’s Liverpool, but we are not for sale,” he said clearly.
FSG owns several sports teams
The club has allegedly been for sale for some time, but the horrendous valuation of almost 185 million euros, which Torres had called out, scared off possible interested parties. Thereupon the Spaniard lowered the value to about 116 million euros. Eventually he will have to go, but that is “still a long way”.
The FSG has already been trying to buy new football clubs in various countries in recent months. Advanced negotiations apparently took place with Girondins Bordeaux from France and the Spanish FC Malaga.
The company, founded in 2001, owns teams from various sports with the Boston Red Sox (baseball), the Pittsburgh Penguins (ice hockey) and FC Liverpool and is now trying to expand the football division.
