Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has indicated significant strides toward selling Liverpool Football Club, as CEO Sam Kennedy recently emphasized that the organization’s priority lies elsewhere, specifically with the Boston Red Sox. FSG sold 38 percent of Liverpool to 1829 Holdings, backed by wealthy investors including Jeff Bezos. This agreement allows 1829 Holdings to potentially take a majority share within a year, suggesting FSG's diminished long-term commitment to the club. Current discussions surrounding the future ownership of Liverpool indicate a transition is imminent within approximately 10 months.
