Second attempt! Liverpool bosses push forward with multi-club empire plans
Fresh details emerge on an ambitious project.
The details: According to The Athletic, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which owns the controlling stake in Liverpool, has resumed talks with Getafe president Ángel Torres about purchasing the Spanish club.
Just a month ago, the Merseyside executives reached out to Torres regarding a full takeover, but the £160 million price tag seemed too steep for a relatively modest club.
Now, according to sources, Torres has dropped the asking price to £100 million, a figure that could well suit FSG.
Previously, it was reported that Liverpool’s management had held discussions with French side Bordeaux and another Spanish club, Málaga, but after such a generous concession from Torres, Getafe has become the top priority for acquisition.
