VIVA – The owners of Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) confirmed on Monday, November 7, 2022, that they are considering selling their ownership shares in the Premier League club.

Liverpool has won a total of eight trophies so far since being acquired by Fenway Sports Group, including lifting the England league trophy for the first time in 30 years and winning the Champions League in 2019.

Based on the Forbes report in May 2022, Liverpool currently has a selling value of 3.89 billion pounds (around IDR 70.2 trillion). This amount is ten times higher than when FSG acquired Liverpool in 2010.
