"I've been told..." - Financial expert reveals the concerning news he's heard about Liverpool

"I've been told..." - Financial expert reveals the concerning news he's heard about Liverpool

This will be concerning for Liverpool supporters.

There is currently no concrete interest from any party in a potential takeover of Liverpool, according to a finance expert.

Current owners Fenway Sports Group announced in November, via a statement issued to The Athletic's David Ornstein, that they were considering new shareholders 'if it was in the best interest of Liverpool as a club'.

Later that month, Liverpool chairman Tom Werner told the Boston Globe that FSG was exploring the possibility of a sale, but that it would be a long process and could ultimately lead to the current ownership staying in their roles.

FSG were criticised in January for a lack of spending in recent years, particularly in midfield, by Reds legend Jamie Carragher.

He told Sky Sports: "To allow a team that was competing for four trophies last season to be fighting for top four because the midfield has only had one signing in four years. They are absolutely running on fumes. How has it been allowed to happen?"

On Friday, former Reds chairman Sir Martin Broughton told The Telegraph that FSG may not receive the full reported £4 billion asking price for the club, because of the attractiveness of London over Liverpool or Manchester for overseas investors. Broughton, alongside a consortium, placed an unsuccessful bid for Chelsea last year, which was sold to a Todd Boehly-led consortium in a deal worth up to £4.25 billion.

Now, some more concerning news has been revealed.

Expert issues Liverpool takeover update

Speaking on the Blood Red: Liverpool FC YouTube channel, finance expert Dave Powell explained what sources have told him about a potential takeover and the certainty of investment this summer.

He said: "What I've been told repeatedly by people who would know, nobody has shown their hand. Nobody has come to the table. Nobody has said, 'Here's X amount of money for the football club'.

"There's been no high-level discussion held as yet. If anything, FSG were kind of fighting a few fires in Boston in December, so the LFC sale focus hasn't really been top of their agenda. It's something which they are exploring.

"It would be hard to make a case for them to still be competitive owners if they weren't to make significant investment this summer, because it's quite obvious that this is a Liverpool team in dire need of investment in key areas that will be expensive, and it will need the bill footing, so the summer will be very, very telling."
