"I am told..." - Transfer expert Romano reveals how FSG sale plans could affect Liverpool's January window

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano detailed how the potential sale of Liverpool could affect Jurgen Klopp’s January transfer plans.

The Reds have endured a torrid season so far - they currently sit eighth in the Premier League table, seven points from the Champions League spots and some 15 points off table toppers Arsenal.

With Liverpool deep into one of the most densely packed seasons in memory, Klopp’s side is in desperate need of reinforcements.

However, on Monday, the Athletic claimed that Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who have owned Liverpool since a £300million takeover in 2010, were inviting offers for the club and had prepared a sales presentation for interested parties.

Will FSG’s stance affect transfers?

Liverpool have been linked with some of Europe’s brightest talent in the past few weeks, including Borussia Dortmund’s teenage duo Jude Bellingham and Youssoufa Moukoko.

However some Reds fans have questioned how transfer activity may be affected by FSG’s current position.

When asked whether the takeover news would affect Liverpool’s January plans, Romano told the House of Champions podcast: “I think no. Honestly, I think no.

“I am told that they still have the same plan to go for important players if they have the opportunity, if not they will wait. This is the Liverpool approach.

“I see them looking at the market in January. They have too many injuries, they are already looking at some opportunities in the market and they know that with this Real Madrid tie it is important to give Klopp some more players.

“I don’t know how many, but I think they will be on the market in January.”

Are Liverpool even for sale?

In response to the Athletic report, FSG released a statement that 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."

There has since been a general sense of ambiguity regarding FSG’s current position. Indeed on Monday Fan group Spirit of Shankly wrote to Liverpool asking for clarification on the matter.

So far there is uncertainty over whether FSG will sell the club imminently, and if so, who the buyer may be.
