Premier League rich list: Liverpool takeover update - their wealth compared to Newcastle United & Chelsea

Liverpool is the Premier League’s latest takeover saga after being put up for sale by their American owners.

News emerged last week that Jurgen Klopp’s side had been put on the market by Fenway Sports Group, who have been at the helm since 2010.

A statement read: “There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours 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.”

Indeed, it’ll come as no surprise that interest in buying the Anfield club is high, with the latest update coming from FSG partner Sam Kennedy, who is also the Boston Red Sox’s chief executive.

“There has been a lot of interest from numerous potential partners considering investment into the club,” Kennedy confirmed.

“Mike Gordon has done an extraordinary job of leading the club for the past decade-plus. He will be taking a step back from that role and (Liverpool chief executive) Billy Hogan will be taking on more and more. Billy’s someone we’re particularly proud of in the Red Sox front office, he grew up in our organisation.

“Great companies grow by adding value to their business. One way to increase that value from time to time is to sell assets or add investors. Does that mean FSG is going to sell Liverpool? I do not know.

“It’s John Henry’s, Tom Werner’s and Mike Gordon’s job to responsibly run Fenway Sports Group and they felt this was an ideal time to explore possible opportunities for investment into the club.”

While Liverpool’s takeover plays out, let’s remind ourselves of how the Premier League owners’ rich list currently looks - including the estimated wealth of Newcastle United owners the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia:
