Highly regarded business magazine Forbes believes that Liverpool have “multiple suitors” interested in buying the club from Fenway Sports Group, but principle owner John W Henry has no intention of selling the club.
In recent days, a report surfaced in The Independent that Chinese state backed firm SinoFortone were offering £700million for the club, but the American owners of the club quickly dismissed the story.
According to Forbes journalist Mike Ozanian, he believes that “multiple parties” have approached FSG over the past few months but they are not welling to sell a controlling interest in the club. In any case, the mooted £700million offer would be well below what FSG would be tempted to sell the club for.
The new TV rights deal with Sky, and the real estate value of the land around Anfield makes the club to be worth closer to $1.5billion or £1.05 billion, according to the magazine.
