Liverpool close to deal that boosts their financial options

Liverpool as a club is one of the most prestigious and successful in the world of sport, and as an institution it is a real money-spinner; FSG in general and some of its partners, such as NBA star and Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James in particular, knew this when they acquired it, but for them the time has come to let go and allow the club to grow in another direction, one that could put Jürgen Klopp's team even ahead of PSG in terms of wealth.

Premier League circles say that the objectives set by Fenway Sports Group Management, dedicated among other things to sporting talent, by having the very high stake in Liverpool have been achieved and that is why they are now looking at selling him as a profitable business for them and the club. On that basis, the names and suitors keep coming and some of them place the team from the city of the Beatles under the command of incredible fortunes.

One of them, who seems to be at the forefront of the bidding, as Goal states, is "Stephen Pagliuca and his investment firm Bain Capital", who could give the six-time European champions an unrivalled financial boost. Well, there would be one not only equal but superior, in this case, such as PIF Owners, the Saudi Arabian public investment fund that owns Mohamed Bin Salman's Newcastle United, whose value amounts - still according to this media - to a net value of 320 billion pounds sterling.

Well, the Liverpool buyer, Pagliuca, would arrive at Anfield with Bain Capital, another investment firm, with a net worth of 119 billion pounds sterling, according to the mass media, which also puts on the table a possibility that could make this proposal a serious contender to win this bid: Pagliuca would have an important friendship with John W. Henry, chairman of Liverpool and one of the owners and founders of FSG.

The question, if this transaction goes ahead, is one that many clubs are asking themselves, including the English side's UCL last-16 opponents Real Madrid: how much would the English team be able to mobilise in one market?
