Moore dispels rumors of Liverpool and announces £ 50 million investment

Liverpool general manager Peter Moore said the Fenway Sports Group was looking to sell the club.

Earlier this month, the New York Post said that "Liverpool FC is quietly on the market" and that John W Henry was looking for a price "north of £ 1.53 billion".

Henry, who also owns the Boston Red Sox, bought Liverpool for the first time in 2010 for £ 365 million. So, according to his assessment, the businessman born in Illinois would make a huge profit on the Merseyside club.

Henry's baseball team, the Red Sox, recently defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series, but during that time, Henry was a "passive sell process" for Liverpool, according to the report.

The American newspaper also claimed that two different sources have checked the news that Henry was open to the sale of the Premier League club.

However, Moore dispelled the story and said the FSG was committed to the club for the long term.

Moore said, "Since they took control of the club, the owners have invested £ 2 million in capital investment, which is contributing to the construction, technology and investment in this new main stand. .

"Invest as we do in Kirkby, where we are building for the first time a brand new performance center. For the first time in our history, we will bring together our first team and our academy.

"It's an investment of 50 million pounds. I think we have a property group that fully understands what it means to be in charge of this football club.

"This includes this city, understands the needs of its supporters, they are there for a very long time, there is no short-term thinking, no short-term investment in this club.

"They believe in what's happening under Jurgen Klopp, under Michael Edwards, our sports director.

"Behind the scenes of Melwood, soon Kirkby, and hope that they believe in what we do and what my team does in football.

"That it becomes an autonomous economic model that can be refreshed every year. In summary, big landowners, understanding landlords, a patient capital that builds for the future. "
