Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the owners of Premier League giants, Liverpool, are reportedly in talks over purchasing Spanish second division outfit, Malaga.
A delegation has already visited Malaga to assess whether they would be suitable as part of a multi-club venture according to The Athletic. FSG are exploring whether to complete a takeover, via purchasing the 51 percent stake of Qatari businessman Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani.
It is thought that FSG are only focused on Al Thani’s shares which would make them majority owners, as they will be able to make sole decisions for the club – which is currently in administration and under judicial control.
The Merseyside club’s owners are undergoing the due diligence required and contemplating how large of a cash injection would be needed. If FSG can reach a deal, it could open the doors to direct transfer business taking place between Liverpool and Malaga.
