FSG sell Liverpool minority share to Dynasty Equity

FSG put Liverpool on sale this year

The US private equity company Dynasty Equity has acquired a minority share in Liverpool from Fenway Sports Group. The agreement puts an end to FSG's search for funding and will be utilised for repaying debts.

FSG and Dynasty, a securities firm that specialised in purchasing minority holdings in sports clubs, have not disclosed the deal's financial terms, but it is estimated to be worth between $100 million and $200 million (£82 million to £164 million).

The investment doesn't amount to a "transfer war chest" for Jürgen Klopp, the manager. In addition to purchases made throughout the most recent transfer window, it will pay off financial obligations accrued during the pandemic, capital expenditures for the new Anfield Road currently stand, the new Axa training centre, and buying back of Melwood Training Ground.

Prior to this summer's transfer spending and the repurchase of Melwood, Liverpool owed roughly £150 million. After the epidemic, FSG started thinking about outside investment since it feels uncomfortable bearing that much debt.

Inaccurate rumours that FSG might be selling Liverpool surfaced in November 2022 as a result of the selection of two investment firms, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, to spearhead that search.

Yet, the club's owner sought a minority investor and spoke with a number of potential parties before agreeing to a deal with Dynasty.

Its alleged role in the club is minimal and passive, and neither it nor the club's operations are affected by it. Long term, Dynasty and FSG will look into new Liverpool growth prospects.
