Liverpool owner John Henry has denied the English giants are up for sale despite seeking fresh investment in the club.
Henry’s Fenway Sports Group (FSG) said in November it would “consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.”
That sparked speculation that the 19-time English champions were on the market alongside rivals Manchester United.
“I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about LFC (Liverpool Football Club), but I keep to the facts,” Henry told the Boston Sports Journal.
“We merely formalized an ongoing process. Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling LFC? No. Are we talking with investors about LFC? Yes.
“Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won’t be a sale. Have we sold anything in the past 20-plus years?”
FSG paid £300 million for Liverpool 13 years ago after fellow Americans Tom Hicks and George Gillett left the club on the brink of administration.
