LeBron James’ $4.45 Billion Worth Soccer Club Liverpool Mulling Over a Massive $4.2 Billion Bid From Qatar

Liverpool FC is one of the most prominent soccer clubs in the world. However, in recent times, the Reds have not been having a great time. The quality of performances has taken a severe drop in the last two months. On the other hand, Fenway Sports Group has also been looking to sell the English soccer club. The English soccer giants have popular faces like LeBron James as stakeholders too.

However, in recent news, Rumors suggest that Liverpool has been successful in receiving a potential bid and other investment options.

A takeover bid from Qatar?

A few years ago, Liverpool had a phase that saw them become the best soccer club in English. The English soccer giants were unbeatable at one point. The Reds have been known for their strategic yet consistent spending during the soccer transfer windows. Liverpool’s approach toward the transfer market still wows a lot of soccer fans and pundits to date.

Fenway Sports Group purchased Liverpool for a bargain in 2010. However, after a good stint of soccer dominance the American conglomerate is looking to move out. Twitter transfer specialist, IndyKaila suggests that Liverpool has received a bid for a potential takeover. The $4.2 billion bid has reportedly come for Qatar.

According to Arabian Business, Qatar Sports Investments are the ones interested in buying Liverpool or Manchester United. QSI currently owns French soccer giant, Paris Saint-Germain. However, the talks between the two sets of owners are still kept private. After hosting a successful World Cup campaign, the interest to buy a soccer club seems to have gradually grown in Qatar.

Arabian Business also reported that Liverpool could also receive a takeover bid from Dubai. Dubai International Capital reportedly missed out on buying the Reds back in 2007. However, they’re up and ready to launch another bid again.

The LeBron James – Liverpool connection

Over the years Liverpool has been a very well-run soccer club. The Reds have never shied away from breaking the bank whenever they absolutely needed to. However, in other instances, FSG has always been conservative but smart about its annual spending during the transfer windows.

LeBron James owns a minority stake in Liverpool FC. The NBA star took the surprising step of purchasing a stake in a soccer club back in 2011. James had once revealed that he always dreamt of owning his own soccer club and he wanted to work towards the dream. Without a doubt, Liverpool FC was one of James’ best investments ever.

According to ESPN, James’ Liverpool investment has steadily grown over the years. His $6.5 million initial investment for a 2% stake is now valued at about $32 million. LeBron James is one of the very few athletes who has spent all his money wisely to date. The real question is will LeBron James will own Liverpool FC one day?
