Liverpool CEO Peter Moore has reiterated that the club is not for sale but FSG are open to selling a minority stake while speaking to Arabian Business (h/t ESPN).
The report claims that the Reds had to allay fears of a sale to Sheik Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan in a deal that would have valued Liverpool at £2billion.
FSG purchased Liverpool from their previous American owners for £300m in 2010, according to the report, and have seen the club grow from strength to strength under Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds lead the Premier League and reached the Champions League final last time around. Moore also claimed that the Reds are looking for the “right partners” to deal with (h/t ESPN):
“[The club] is not discourteous enough to discount people who say they are interested.
“The club has made it very clear that if the right partner is interested in a minority stake, they would consider that.”
The CEO also added that the Reds are entertaining offers from kit manufacturers over a new deal as the contract with New Balance ends in 2020.
The report adds that the Reds are looking to finalise a deal which matches the record £75m-a-year that Adidas signed with Manchester United in 2014.

The Reds are in a great position on and off the pitch, and hopefully, we have something to celebrate at the end of the season.
