Fenway Sports Group put Liverpool up for sale
The American sports giant Fenway Sports Group has put Liverpool up for sale in order to find a buyer for the club. The company has been exploring the sale option for the past decade, and it has received some interest from other parties. Last year, the company sold a minority stake to Redbird, a private equity firm that already owns stakes in several sports franchises. In a statement, the group said that it had been looking for growth opportunities and was seeking a buyer for the club.
The recent sale of Chelsea, another English Premier League team, may have reset the market for the world’s most expensive soccer team. The Chelsea deal was pushed through by sanctions imposed on the former Russian owner. While it is difficult to predict which buyer will ultimately acquire the Reds, this recent deal may have reset the market for some of the world’s biggest soccer clubs. However, if it is to be sold, FSG will have to pay PS5billion for the club.
The group has been under fire for a number of reasons, including the fact that they have not invested much in the transfer market in recent years. While Liverpool fans have been critical of FSG, the owners say they are open to selling the club. The company is currently working with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to sell the club.
Chelsea and Barcelona to meet in continental competition
FC Barcelona and Chelsea will meet in the International Champions Cup on July 28. The two teams are unbeaten in their last fifteen competitive encounters and the Spanish giants have beaten Chelsea twice. In the 2012 semi-finals, FC Barcelona led 2-0 before Chelsea pulled back and won 2-2. The Blues went on to win the competition and beat Bayern Munich in the final. One of Chelsea’s key ข่าวบอล, Cesc Fabregas, has close ties with FC Barcelona. The Spaniard was born in Arenys de Mar and spent seven years in FCB’s academy. However, he left FCB and signed for Arsenal.
Barcelona’s last meeting with Chelsea ended in a goalless draw. The Catalans were aware of Chelsea’s solid defense and would have been wary of the Blues. However, after pounding Real Madrid for six goals the previous weekend, they had a different mindset when playing against Chelsea. Despite controlling the match for most of the game, they failed to trouble the Chelsea goal until Iniesta’s late strike.
Paris Saint-Germain to face Bayern Munich in 2020 final
Paris Saint-Germain has never won the UEFA Champions League. They have reached the final just once, against Bayern Munich last season. But PSG has spent a decade chasing the trophy and a lot of money to get there. It has also broken the rules and shifted the landscape to their advantage. But the Ligue 1 club will not rest until they have won their first title.
Paris Saint-Germain have strengthened their team since their last meeting. They have added Leo Messi and will now have the best front three in the world. But Bayern’s defensive set-up will have to be tweaked. The first leg will be played at Parc des Princes in Paris during February, and the second leg at the Allianz Arena in March. However, these dates are not final yet.
PSG has won its last five encounters with Bayern Munich, with Bayern winning only once. Paris and Bayern last met in the Champions League group stages, with PSG winning the first one 3-0 at Parc, and Bayern winning the second one 3-1 in Paris. Both teams will be aiming to make it to the 2020 final and win the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time.
