I WOULD LOVE IT! I requested my information on this, yes. Soon as I heard. What a turn of events! What a club! @LFC https://t.co/HD0ELlhKOH

A report on Monday suggested the American-based owners at Fenway Sports Group (FSG) had produced a sales deck and investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were assisting the evaluation process.
Although FSG acknowledges that it is willing to consider new investors, it hasn’t said the club is for sale as a whole, yet it hasn’t ruled it out either.

FSG is anticipated to seek more than €4bn to sell all of its stakes in Liverpool, a price that is significantly beyond McGregor’s means despite his success in UFC and boxing.
Yet after hinting he would be interested in buying Manchester United and Chelsea in recent months, he has tweeted that he would like to explore the possibility of being part of a consortium buying Liverpool.
This is far from the first time McGregor has used his Twitter platform to spark debate, with his retirement from UFC quickly followed by messages that he would return to the cage.
