F1 owner Liberty Media is rumored to be interested in acquiring a minority position in Liverpool, with FSG looking for further funding
With Liberty Media a ‘contender’ to buy a minority part in the club, Liverpool may soon have two of the world’s largest sporting empires working behind the scenes together to finance bigger and greater things on and off the pitch for Jurgen Klopp’s side. Liberty Media was rated the “World’s Most Valuable Sports Empire” by Forbes earlier this year, with a valuation of £17.4 billion
The owners of Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group, placed fourth on the list, with a stated net worth of £8.7 billion. Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which owns Arsenal as well as the NBA franchise Denver Nuggets and the NFL team Los Angeles Rams, is valued at £10.6 billion.
FSG has said unequivocally that they are currently looking for investors ready to purchase a minority position in the club ahead of a vital summer transfer window. If Liberty Media decides to invest in the club, Liverpool will become an instant financial powerhouse.
In March 2021, FSG did something similar when RedBird Capital purchased 10% of the US corporation for £533 million, which helped fund the Anfield Road Stand expansion and other investments. Express Sport looks at the dream Eleven Klopp may have at his disposal if FSG’s next investment plan makes large sums of money available to him.
Alisson is the goalkeeper.
There’s no need for Klopp to be concerned about goalkeeping, with Alisson perhaps the only Liverpool player who can look back on a successful season. Alisson, who is still considered as one of the top goalkeepers in the world, is unlikely to be replaced anytime soon.
Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, and Mendes* are the defenders.
Liverpool’s defensive corps has been ravaged this season due to injuries to their center-backs, but Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk will be the starting tandem going forward. Trent Alexander-Arnold is having a slump in form but is still regarded as one of the top full-backs in the world. Yet, Liverpool may see an opportunity to spend money on the left side of defense if funds are available.
Nuno Mendes was linked with a move to Anfield last summer before joining Paris Saint-Germain, and the Ligue 1 giants are apparently hoping to substantially reduce their salary bill and raise finances of their own this summer.
Bellingham*, De Jong*, Mount* are the midfielders.
Big money will need to be spent in midfield, and it’s unlikely that everything will be completed in a single window. The club’s priority target remains Jude Bellingham, but Mason Mount’s uncertain future at Chelsea has sparked serious interest from the Merseyside team.
But, Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has emerged as a prospective target, and if Liverpool had that £26.1bn war chest, a move would not be out of the question.
Diaz, Nunez, and Salah attack
With Cody Gakpo’s arrival from PSV, the investment in Liverpool’s offense appears to be complete. When everyone is healthy, Liverpool has one of the best offensive groups in the world.
Although Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz are likely starts, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, and Gakpo are capable backups.
Liverpool’s ‘New’ signing, according to Jamie Carragher, is a “waste of money.”
‘Waste of money,’ says Jamie Carragher of Liverpool’s ’embarrassing’ signing
This season’s midfield woes for Liverpool cannot be overstated.
To the chagrin of the Anfield faithful, the club’s long-running pursuit of Jude Bellingham recently came to an end.
With Carragher announcing the need to sign three midfielders over the next 12 months at the end of last season, it’s time to turn their attention to cheaper alternatives to the English teen.
Their transfer incompetence has been thrashed by supporters, and now Champions League winner Carragher has chastised the club for appearing ‘weak’ and ‘negligent’.
Jamie Carragher’s thoughts on
Liverpool will need ready-made reinforcements this summer if they are to regain their title-challenging form, which has been lacking this season.
Despite their interest in Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, Liverpool must have been aware of the urgent need for a midfield renewal, according to his comments.
Arthur Melo, a last-minute loan signing by Klopp Carragher has called a “embarrassing climbdown” and a “waste of money,” enters the picture at this point.
“That is [Klopp’s] biggest mistake on this issue and he knows it,” Carragher wrote for The Telegraph. “The big giveaway that he realised his error in not recruiting before the last pre-season was the last-minute scramble for Arthur Melo on the final day of last August’s transfer window.”
“That deal was a money-wasting climbdown and embarrassing. Liverpool was waiting for the longer-term goal, which was the justification at the time.
Anfield’s disappointing tenure with Arthur Melo
The Brazilian international’s stay in Merseyside, where he paid a loan fee of £3.9 million, has been one to forget.
Melo has mostly played for Liverpool’s Under-21 team, making just one appearance for the senior team in their 1-0 loss to Napoli.
Transfer insider Dean Jones told GIVEMESPORT that their loaned midfielder Melo has been nothing more than a “panic buy.”
The player in question will, unfortunately, probably return to Turin this summer because the venture was a failure for both parties.
The Anfield hierarchy will have to accept this as yet another hiring blunder, but all eyes will be on their summer transfer activity now that their pursuit of one of the biggest prospects in world football has come to a shaming end.
The Premier League has issued a statement after VAR overturned Cody Gakpo’s goal.
Liverpool’s game against Aston Villa on Saturday could have been decided by Cody Gakpo’s disallowed goal
Liverpool’s game against Aston Villa on Saturday could have been decided by Cody Gakpo’s disallowed goal.
High-flying At Anfield, Villa made a dream start, with Jacob Ramsey volleying home at the back post to silence the home crowd. Nothing less than a win would suffice for Klopp and his team as they chase a top-four spot, with Manchester United and Newcastle comfortably ahead.
When Gakpo lashed into the bottom corner, they appeared to be given a lifeline, but after a lengthy VAR consultation, referee John Brooks determined that the goal could not stand. Despite the fact that the former PSV Eindhoven forward remained onside throughout the transfer, supporters were perplexed by the final decision.
The fact that Konsa did not intend to play the ball was crucial, according to a Premier League statement. “The VAR recommended a review,” it stated. “And referee John Brooks determined it was an unintentional deflection off Ezri Konsa, not a deliberate play.”
While Firmino scored a late equalizer in his last appearance at Anfield, the result was still a bitter blow for the Reds, who will most likely be forced to compete in Europe’s second-tier club competition next season.
Instead, Klopp took aim at Villa, who are also vying for a European spot under Unai Emery, for what he saw as time wasting. “The time wasting was… wow,” Klopp said.
“We saw the ball boys leave the country against Sevilla.” How long was the ball in play between Roma and Leverkusen? Everyone is doing it. We’ve seen it in a number of games this season. Nothing to do with today’s outcome.”
