The failure of the American-led European Super League in 2021 and Todd Boehly's multi-billion dollar purchase of Chelsea are thought to be big factors in the Fenway Sports Group's decision to put Liverpool up for sale on Monday.
The controversial MLS-style continental competition was heavily supported by Liverpool and it's collapse along with the $5billion sale of the Blues to Boehly have lead to FSG putting the club up for sale, according to an ESPN report.
The Boston-based owner - who also owns the Red Sox - is looking to sell their majority stake after 12 years at Anfield, and is reportedly looking to make a sale for around $4.
