Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has put Liverpool up for sale.

A full sales presentation has been produced for interested parties.

FSG has looked at opportunities in the past but decided against moving forward with them. It is unclear whether or not a deal will eventually be done, but FSG is inviting offers.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been retained to assist with the process.

A statement from FSG, who also own the Boston Red Sox, read: "There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group's ownership in Liverpool.

"FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.

"FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch."

The group has owned Liverpool since October 2010, when it bought the club from George Gillett Jr. and Tom Hicks.

I did not expect this news.

A pivotal moment for the club

Most likely one of the Americans that didn't pick up Chelsea will lead the bidding. No way a Saudi gets them as it is too hard to tell whether they're a puppet of Mohammed bin Salman and the Saudis already have a foothold in Newcastle.
