JAKARTA - Liverpool owner John W Henry issued a firm statement about the fate of his club. He confirmed that the Reds were not sold.

Earlier, John W Henry as the main owner, along with club chairman Tom Werner, said in November that it was "exploring a possible new shareholder".

Since that statement, many reports have emerged regarding enthusiasts. However, there were no official offers or high-level talks related to sales.

Qataris are said to be interested in exploring purchases, but withdrew when it became clear Henry did not want to give up control of the majority over the club.

Now Henry is straightening out all the confusing news. He has confirmed FSG will defend the six-time Champions League champions.

However, however, FSG is still open to new investments for Liverpool as they hope to attract a'strategic partner', Liverpool Echo reports.

"I know there are a lot of conversations and quotes about Liverpool, but I stick to the facts, we're just inaugurating the ongoing process," Henry said, as reported by The Sun.

"Are we going to be in England forever? No. Are we selling LFCs? No. Do we talk to investors about LFCs? Yes."

"Will something happen there? I believe so, but it's not a goods sale. Have we ever sold anything in the last 20 years?" he continued.

Whether this is good or bad news for fans. However, some supporters actually want a change in ownership.

The Reds are declining. Fans hopes the club can spend as massively as their rivals do.

The Reds are estimated to be worth around 3.7 billion or equivalent to Rp. 67 trillion. This figure is much greater than the money spent by Fenway Sports Group (FSG) to buy Liverpool in 2010.

At that time, they only spent 300 million or around Rp. 5.4 trillion.
