Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have sold part of the club to a US private equity firm called Dynasty Equity. The money raised from this sale will not be used for future player transfers. It’s important to note that Liverpool is not up for sale and remains under the ownership of FSG, who bought the club in 2010 for £300 million.
The owners of Liverpool Football Club sold a portion of the club for $200m. The funds will be used to pay off debt and support future investments.
Liverpool was impacted by the pandemic, leading to various investments in transfers, redevelopment of Anfield, and the acquisition of their former training ground.
Dynasty Equity, a US private equity firm, has purchased a minority stake for an undisclosed amount, between $100 million and $200 million. They will serve as passive investors.
The money will be used to reduce the club’s debt, not for future transfers. Liverpool’s latest accounts as of June 2022 showed a net debt of £71m.
Liverpool is not for sale. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs were hired last year to look for investment options.
The investment from Dynasty Equity does not mean they plan to sell. Fenway Sports Group, the owners of Liverpool, are fully committed to owning and running the club.
Liverpool spoke with other interested investment groups, but only the proposal from Dynasty Equity felt like the right choice.
Dynasty Equity is a company founded by Jonathan Nelson and Don Cornwell. They aim to invest in various sports clubs, starting with buying a minority stake in Liverpool.
FSG purchased Liverpool Football Club for £300 million in 2010. Forbes estimates its current value to be over £4 billion.
FSG president Mike Gordon: “Our long-term commitment to Liverpool remains as strong as ever. We have always said that if there is an investment partner that is right for Liverpool then we would pursue the opportunity to help ensure the club’s long-term financial resiliency and future growth.
“We look forward to building upon the long-standing relationship with Dynasty to further strengthen the club’s financial position and sustain our ambitions for continued success on and off the pitch.”
Dynasty executive chairman Jonathan Nelson: “We are honoured to partner with FSG and support the remarkable legacy of Liverpool in a strategic partnership that builds upon mutual respect and deep relationships among our respective teams.”
