Liverpool could face another significant ownership change as Fenway Sports Group explores a major investment.
The Reds have already experienced considerable changes both on and off the pitch during the 2026–27 campaign.
Andoni Iraola replaced Arne Slot during the summer, beginning a new chapter in the club’s sporting direction.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s ownership structure underwent a substantial transformation following a major agreement in August.
Fenway Sports Group sold a 38% minority stake to 1892 Holdings for £1.65 billion. The consortium includes British Indian businessman Amit Bhatia alongside investors Jeff Bezos and Eduardo Saverin.
Bhatia subsequently became Liverpool’s vice-chairman, although FSG retained majority ownership and operational control.
Crucially, the agreement also gives the consortium an option to complete a full takeover before August 2027.
Now, fresh developments involving FSG’s wider sporting investments have raised further questions about its long-term plans.
According to The Guardian, Fenway Sports Group have held talks about acquiring a controlling stake in Cadillac’s Formula One team.
The proposed deal could exceed £2 billion, with Cadillac co-owner Mark Walter considering the sale of sporting assets.
Walter is under investigation by American authorities over alleged insurance fraud involving his financial businesses.
However, the 66-year-old denies wrongdoing and insists his Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team will not be sold.
Cadillac currently sit bottom of the Formula One constructors’ championship during their debut season.
Despite failing to score points, Walter values his stake at approximately £2.24 billion. FSG’s interest reflects Formula One’s commercial growth, particularly across the United States.
The sport’s annual revenue has more than doubled over nine years, reaching approximately £3 billion.
FSG already have motorsport interests through their 50% ownership of NASCAR team RFK Racing.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s valuation has climbed considerably since FSG purchased the club for £300 million in 2010.
Their remaining stake is now valued at approximately £5.5 billion following August’s partial sale.
Although no Cadillac agreement has been completed, the discussions could influence FSG’s future investment priorities.
For now, FSG retain control at Anfield, while 1892 Holdings hold an option to complete Liverpool’s takeover.
