American owners Fenway Sports Group unveiled their desire to sell Liverpool on Monday morning
A report has given FSG's claim to "putting the club up for sale" some distinctly possible reasons.
FSG have released a statement outlining their commitment to helping the club, but are reportedly ready to sell after owning Liverpool for 12 years.
The statement read: "There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumors of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool.
"FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool.
"FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.
"FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch."
According to ESPN, the collapse of the European Super League in 2021 and Chelsea's £4.25bn sales this summer are factors.
These developments are said to have led FSG to "test the waters" by putting Liverpool up for sale.
