It’s been a period of significant change for FSG’s sporting portfolio, with funds committed to rejuvenating Liverpool’s beleaguered midfield and further changes afoot for MLB item Boston Red Sox.
The Merseysiders’ statements of intent weren’t just localised around the incomings, however, with FSG standing firm over potential exits around Alisson Becker and Mo Salah amid Saudi interest. Jurgen Klopp’s outfit went a step further, triggering a clause in the No.1’s contract (The Athletic) to bump up his wages.
