Henry wants to SELL Liverpool for £350m... just three years after taking over at Anfield
Just three years since being bought by American billionaire John Henry and the Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool are being put up for sale again.
The club is available at £350million with FSG said to be disillusioned with ownership, as the club have not progressed in three years despite huge investment.
According to a report in The Sun, Liverpool are 'unofficially' on the market with three parties, one Saudi oil company and two American billionaires, interested in a purchase.
Exit? According to a report in The Sun, Liverpool owner John Henry is ready to sell Liverpool
After spending £300m themselves to take over control of the club, FSG have spent a further £187m on players but are got no closer to getting back to the top of the Premier League.
That lack of success, and a huge outlay, have left investors ready to pull the plug.
'They went into this to make money but the club hasn't got into Europe, flopped in the league and spent well over £100m on transfers,' a City source told the newspaper.
'The fact Luis Suarez is for sale is no coincidence. Selling a star player is a classic sign of wanting to get out.'
According to sources, Liverpool approached Saudi Aramco to discuss sponsorship some months ago. The oil giants are said to have proposed a takeover instead, an offer that Henry and Fenway are considering.
Investors are said to be furious at the money wasted under Kenny Dalglish, which includes £35m on Andy Carroll, who has since been sold to West Ham for a huge loss.
Despite Suarez's value doubling in his time with the club, he has caused other problems, notably with Patrice Evra and Branislav Ivanovic.
The sources said two other US billionaires are interested in the club, but would not reveal further details.
