Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca flagged as potential Liverpool FC buyer
Boston Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca has been pegged as a potential name to watch with Liverpool Football Club reportedly up for sale. The Athletic’s Matt Slater suggested as such on a recent edition of the Off the Ball show.
The British soccer team is currently owned by the Fenway Sports Group, the parent company to the Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Penguins. FSG is fielding offers for a full takeover, though no sale is imminent.
Pagliuca joined Wyc Grousbeck in buying the Boston Celtics back in 2002. Now the franchise is worth an estimated $4 billion. Pagliuca also owns a 55% stake in the Italian soccer team Atalanta, and just last year, he attempted to buy a controlling stake in Chelsea Football Club.
FSG’s sale of Liverpool is not a guarantee, and Pagliuca hasn’t publicly made any official bid at the time of this writing. With a reported net worth of $3.87 billion and an apparent interest in European soccer, though, his hat could certainly find its way into the ring.
