“As far as I’m concerned, it’s business as usual. One outcome could be our continued stewardship for quite a while,” Liverpool chairman Tom Werner proclaimed back in November (GOAL) after confirming FSG’s intention to explore a sale.
Since that point, Fenway is yet to receive any bids for the club and it seems unlikely that partners RedBird will consider upping their current investment in the near future.
Where that leaves the club ahead of a summer window that will demand a far more significant degree of surgery than the Merseysiders were prepared to engage with in January.

Arthur Melo was also spotted making his training return (Daily Mail) after tearing a thigh muscle last term and will be hoping to finally get his Liverpool career underway after a supremely tough start to his loan spell at Anfield.

That’s a proposal that may suit John W. Henry and Co. whilst Fenway seesaw between options.
Indeed, if talks are still taking place between QIA and FSG, it certainly indicates an openness to the possibility.
It would most certainly appear a compromise too far, however, as far as our own values are concerned if there isn’t a clear separation between any interested party and a regime interlinked with human rights violations.
Fake Gakpo quotes exposed online

Further to the point, our No.4 has already confirmed he didn’t play a major role in his compatriot’s switch to L4 (Sky Sports via Mirror): “No that was over exaggerated [his role]. I spoke to him, I can only say good things because I’m here, enjoying my time.”
