John Henry appears to have left the door open for a Liverpool takeover that might break all-time records.
The Fenway Sports Group president last sought investment in the team in 2022, bringing investment firm Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley on board to discuss potential choices.
However, the search concluded in September of last year, when FSG sold a minority holding to Dynast Equity for between £82 million and £164 million.
Henry paid £300 million for Liverpool in 2010, and he has not indicated that he wants a return on his investment just yet.
However, the newest news from Boston suggests that his position on Liverpool’s future is not as firm as some may believe.
John Henry does not rule out Liverpool takeover.
When asked by the Financial Times whether he is considering selling any of his sporting properties, the 74-year-old responded in what some may regard as an equivocal manner.
While Henry was quick to make assurances concerning the future of his baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, he did not expressly reaffirm his long-term plans for Liverpool.
“My wife and I live and work in Boston,” he stated. “We are committed to the city and region. So the Sox will not be for sale. We normally do not sell assets.”
Experts believe the Liverpool takeover might be worth £3.2 billion.
According to a recent analysis conducted by industry experts Football Benchmark, Liverpool’s enterprise worth is £3.2 billion.
This amount, which has increased by 7% in the last year, places them as the world’s fifth most valuable football club.
In theory, if the transaction goes through at that price, it will be the most expensive football takeover in history.
It would well exceed the value paid by American investor Todd Boehly for Chelsea in 2022.
The headline price for the sale was £4.25 billion, which reflected Boehly’s plans to invest £1.75 billion in the club, but the underlying value of the takeover was roughly £2.5 billion.

Slot sights a £30 million deal
Liverpool is reportedly interested in acquiring Crysencio Summerville, a winger for Leeds United.
The 23-year-old Dutchman is anticipated to depart Elland Road after Daniel Farke’s team was unable to secure promotion through the play-offs. He was named Championship Player of the Season after scoring 19 goals and dishing out nine assists for Leeds.
The £30 million-rated winger has reportedly drawn interest from a number of elite teams, including Liverpool. Leeds is expecting offers for its highly sought-after asset during the forthcoming transfer window, according to recent reports.
