Exclusive: FSG £74m plan revealed after Liverpool strike game-changing deal

Fenway Sports Group intend to remove all debt at Liverpool after striking a minority investment deal, Football Insider has been told.

Liverpool announced on Thursday (28 September) that the club has accepted minority investment from global sports investment firm Dynasty Equity.

Dynasty Equity have purchased a small portion of FSG’s stake in the club in a deal worth between £82m and £164m, according to The Athletic.

In their latest accounts, Liverpool revealed that the club had a net debt of £74million and an inter-company debt of £71million.

Part of that debt has been paid off by the club since the release of the accounts, but the figure has also grown as a result of the expansion to Anfield Road and the development of Liveprool’s training ground in Kirkby.

The expansion to Anfield is set to cost Liverpool well over their initial £80million projection following delays to construction this season.

The Reds also spent £50million on their new AXA Training Centre after moving away from Melwood.

Football Insider has been told by well-placed sources that a large majority of the new investment fund will be used to clear the outstanding debt at Liverpool.

Since purchasing the club in 2010, FSG have always remained in control of the debt at Liverpool, regularly paying off any fees to balance the books.

Following a heavy period of investment in infrastructure and the squad, FSG decided to look externally for investment this summer to help maintain Liverpool’s financial sustainability.

FSG are keen to clear debt at the club in order to lower interest fees and therefore boost upcoming monthly financial projections.
