Earlier this year, Liverpool owners FSG were reported to be considering investment offers in the club.

In recent months, news has died down on the topic, but a sports finance journalist has now given an update on the situation.

Alex Miller wrote: “Well-placed sources maintain that several investment options remain on the table for the club… and that a deal is expected to be completed ‘over the summer’.”

It should come as no surprise that progress has been slow, given the scale of any agreement, though the process does appear to be dragging.

Things could speed up now, though, as FSG president Mike Gordon is back in his role helping to run Liverpool.

There had been hopes that an investment deal would boost Liverpool’s plans for the transfer window, but that no longer a viable route for this summer’s funds.
