Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has officially announced that they have sold a minority stake in the Premier League powerhouse, Liverpool Football Club, to the global sports investment firm, Dynasty Equity.
FSG had been exploring opportunities for investment for some time, although they denied reports from about a year ago suggesting that Liverpool was up for sale.

The primary motivation behind this recent move is to raise funds to address the club’s bank debt, which had exceeded their comfort level due to financial challenges caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic and various capital expenses.
FSG have emphasized that their long-term commitment to Liverpool remains unwavering. Dynasty Equity’s involvement in the club is described as “passive” and is not expected to have any direct impact on Liverpool’s day-to-day operations.
Furthermore, the investment will not contribute to a substantial transfer budget.
