Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan says FSG still has a "huge opportunity" to continue growing the Anfield side amid talks regarding a potential minority investment involving several high-profile people.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin are among those to have been approached as part of the consortium, which is headed up by the former QPR owner Amit Bhatia.
It is suggested that the group, whose full line-up is yet to be determined, would be seeking a 30 per cent stake in Liverpool. That could, in the future, pave the way for a full sale should FSG choose to move on.
"Look, John Henry (the principal owner) and FSG have always said that if there was an interest in an investment that would help the football club, then they would consider it," Hogan explained to the BBC.
"That was said many years ago, and that remains the case here.
"At this point, I wouldn't say anything different to the statement that a consortium led, managed and represented by Amit Bhatia has come forward and expressed an interest in a minority investment."

For now, FSG wants to continue growing Liverpool, with the Reds in a healthy position financially. Last season, it just about qualified for the Champions League again, which is a hugely important milestone every year.
With Andoni Iraola having replaced Arne Slot, Liverpool is hoping to perform better on the field when the new campaign kicks off.
"There's a huge opportunity still," Hogan explained. "This is the biggest and most popular sport in the world and we're one of the biggest clubs in the biggest league in the biggest sport in the world.
"So that's a great place for us to be. The Premier League has a tremendous amount of momentum behind it.
"We've definitely not peaked. We're in a good place to continue to grow and that's why everyone across both sides of the club, football and business and whether they kick a ball or not, is focused on driving the club forward and winning trophies."

Liverpool FC have launched their new home kit for the 2026/27, inspired by iconic adidas strip worn during the club's 1989/90 title-winning campaign.
This summer, FSG has already seen its CEO of football, Michael Edwards, depart. He left when the plan to move into a multi-club model fell by the wayside.
Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes, meanwhile, continues to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia when the summer transfer window comes to an end.

"Transition and change is inevitable in football," Hogan said. "In our case, with a new coach coming in, there's real excitement around Andoni's mindset and philosophy that supporters will really enjoy.
"That will take time but in terms of transition, I would send a message that we are in a very healthy place as a football club — the leadership from the ownership is in a very steady place, and we're looking forward to the next season and the season ahead."
