Fenway Sports Group is willing to entertain offers for Liverpool after a successful spell in charge, leading to speculation about how the January transfer window will play out
Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool’s plans for the January transfer window have not been disrupted by the uncertainty surrounding the club’s ownership.
Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has owned the Reds for 12 years but it emerged at the start of the week that the American sports investment company is willing to sell up. This quickly prompted speculation about how Liverpool would approach the midseason transfer window, with some fans suspecting FSG would be less willing to stump up cash for investment.
Alternatively, the prospect of a new owner being in place by New Year’s Day – however unlikely that is – brings with it many questions about recruitment strategy. In the meantime, Klopp and his backroom staff are planning for the January window as normal.
The German stressed he has a “really close relationship” with his FSG bosses and that Anfield officials are continuing to “follow the market all the time, every day”. Speaking at his press conference on Friday, Klopp said: “It is not about money, you have to plan.
