The English Liverpool was put up for sale, as previously reported.
According to ESPN, one of the reasons to sell Liverpool was the failure of the Super League project after all English clubs left it, as well as the purchase of Chelsea by Todd Bowley. A lot of money was paid for the London club, and in the leadership of FSG (the owners of Liverpool) they realized that you can also earn a lot.
The sale of Liverpool could net US owners over $5 billion.
