Gakpo ud for 70 og Barcola ind for 125. Det giver 55 netto for Barcola og er vel ikke dumt.
Problemet er, at truppen ikke bliver bredere af den finte, og det er vel der vi har et helt stort issue.

Det er netop en kabale YNWA, for der er ikke flere non-HG pladser.

Dvs. hvis Barcola eller andre skal ind, skal nogen ud. Heldigvis er der en del kanditater, bla. Chiesa hvor det rygtes at hans agent afsøger muligheder. Jeg tænker også, at Endo, Ramsay og Tsimikas er trupspillere på yderste mandat

Præcis vi har ikke flere non-hg pladser og normalt bliver indkøb delvist finansieret via salg. Derfor er det helt nærliggende at tro Gakpo ( og Curtis) sælges, de vil formentlig indbringe tæt på de 100. Håber Elliott bliver, vi kan godt bruge ham i denne sæson, når vi har Endo -Tsimikas- Chiesa ( og måske osse Ramsay) rendende i klubben stadigvæk. Han vil trods alt give lidt mere kvalitet til bredden, men kommer der et rimelig bud og en god mulighed for ham, så sælges han jo nok.


Derudover bliver det interessant at se, hvordan det salg af klubben på ca.30% er skruet sammen.
Bliver det 30% af FSG aktier el bliver det en aktieudvidelse. Det kan osse blive en blanding af de 2 muligheder. Men det har betydning for om der kommer kapital ind i klubben.

More on the Amit Bhatia-led consortium´s purchase of around 30% in Liverpool.

The investment is viewed as a long-term partnership. FSG maintain day-to-day operational control of the club.

Liverpool was not seeking investment out of financial need. Understand this opportunity stood out because of the calibre of the consortium, and the experience and relationships they bring.

Transfer decisions and budget will remain solely with Liverpool´s sporting team.

The agreement has some flexibility for how the relationship could evolve over time, but there is no pre-determined path as of now beyond this minority investment.

Senior figures at both FSG and Liverpool have spent considerable time getting to know Bhatia. Sources say he understands the responsibility of investing in a club like #LFC.

The consortium also brings new global relationships, including in India and Asia.

Bhatia is the primary partner in the deal and will be both vice-chairman and join the board.

Jeff Bezos has invested via K5 Sports, but not viewed as day-to-day or too actively involved. Bezos will not sit on the board. K5 Sports´ Bryan Baum will represent his interests and will sit on the board.

Bliver der mon så seriøst handlet ind, så holdet har en chance for at komme i top 4 🤔

Alex Sherman


Very interesting. The consortium have a call option at $8bnn (presumably the investment price level plus a control premium of 25-30%). Would think there is a decent chance they exercise this. Would be a record multiple for a football club (c7.5x FY27 revenue)

Stefan Borson


Det er helt sikkert første skridt mod nye ejere for klubben, trods FSG statement. Alle 3 investorergrupper i konsortiet får plads i bestyrelsen, med andre ord har de indflydelse på beslutninger der træffes fremover.
