Ridiculous figure FSG asked to sell Liverpool, PSG and City tremble

One of the most successful football clubs in history has been put up for sale by its owners. It is Liverpool, the British city club that has six Champions League trophies to its name and has won the English league 19 times, including the 2021-2022 season. More striking is the case of one of the most famous teams in the world, along with Liverpool. This is Chelsea, whose previous owner, the Russian Roman Abramovich, was forced to sell after the outbreak of the war between Ukraine and Russia, and the sanctions resulting from the conflict for the citizens of the country led by Vladimir Putin.

Liverpool, which has been in American hands for a number of years, is reportedly undergoing an audit to gauge the interest of potential buyers. According to some experts, the deal could be worth as much as 5 billion dollars. This would be a bargain, considering that the current owners paid a mere 344 million dollars for the ownership of the club 12 years ago.

Undoubtedly, the high starting price at Liverpool's auction considerably reduces the number of buyers. In this sense, the entry of a few American or Arab investment funds seems to be the only viable option to close the deal and finally give the Anfield team a new owner.

In recent years, English football clubs have become the object of desire of billionaires, especially those of Saudi and American origin. Thus, in addition to Chelsea's exit from the market, there is the recent purchase by an Arab fund of Newcastle United FC. Thus, since last May, Chelsea has had a new owner. It is Todd Boehly, an American billionaire who has bought the English football club, together with other investors, for a total of 5.2 billion dollars, a figure similar to that being asked for Liverpool by its current owners.

The arrival of big billionaires in the world of football is a risky bet, but it demonstrates the enormous business that the best-known teams do every year. In this sense, Statista shows how Liverpool obtained, during the 2018-2019 season, revenues of more than 700 million euros.
