Jamie Carragher admits he is surprised that Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group are considering selling the club, but Gary Neville believes now could well be the time to step away.
FSG are working with two US banks to see how much the club is worth – and city insiders believe it could be as much as $5bn (?4.4bn).
A report on Monday suggested the American-based owners had produced a sales deck and investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were assisting the evaluation process.
FSG admits it is open to accepting new shareholders but has not gone as far as to say the club as a whole is on the market, although it has not definitively ruled it out.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Overlap, Carragher said: “I’d imagine there’s something in it. How strong it is in terms of selling fully or trying to bring money into the club, I’m not sure. I think FSG have done a great job at the club, and I don’t think they’ve ever proclaimed to have the funds of Manchester United, Chelsea or Manchester City.
