Liverpool takeover price 'set to soar' with Super League verdict expected, it's good news for FSG

The newest court verdict on the controversial European Super League is expected to increase chances for a Liverpool sale, as per reports.

The newest court verdict on the controversial European Super League is expected to increase chances for a Liverpool sale or new investment, as per reports.

The latest chapter in the saga of the doomed planned competition took place on Wednesday, with the Super League and its interested parties claiming that 'UEFA's governance of European football constitutes an illegal monopoly under EU competition law'.

An EU court rejected this claim, and recommended that any UEFA penalties given to its member clubs for joining breakaway divisions would be lawful.

Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid are the only three teams not to officially withdraw from the Super League, which was announced in April 2021 to fury from the footballing world.

Nine other teams originally signed up to participate, including six Premier League clubs, but they all pulled out. Liverpool were one of the six clubs.

According to the Daily Mirror, the collapse of the Super League project is one of the reasons why FSG are exploring a sale of, or new shareholders for, the Reds.

And the latest court verdict could spell out some positive news for the club's owners.

Liverpool price update following Super League verdict

According to Football Insider, the verdict reached by the EU court - which is reportedly not legally binding, but a full similar decision by the courts is expected next year - will strengthen the status of the Premier League as the 'world's most lucrative club competition'.

It is said that this is due to the fact that the new threat of sanctions means any chance of clubs rejoining the Super League project is now much lower.

Therefore, the club's domestic prize money and broadcast rights will remain high, making the Reds more stable for potential new investors.

The news will come as a boost to Liverpool fans, with new investment potentially allowing the club to be even more competitive in the transfer market.

Jurgen Klopp's side have been heavily linked with the signing of Benfica and Argentina star Enzo Fernandez.

If Liverpool want to sign the player, they will have to pay his release clause of €120 million - with fellow transfer target Jude Bellingham commanding a €150m asking price by Borussia Dortmund.
