Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG), along with the newly appointed football chief Michael Edwards are exploring the possibility of acquiring Toulouse, a Ligue 1 club, according to Football Insider.

The online news portal claims that “talks over a potential buyout have been held as the US-based investment group look to build a multi-club network.”

This potential deal gains significance as Toulouse already share a connection with Liverpool, with RedBird Capital, who owns 85% of Toulouse, also holding an 11% stake in FSG.

Damien Comolli, who served as Liverpool’s transfer chief from 2010 to 2012, now holds the position of president at Toulouse following RedBird’s acquisition.

During his tenure at Liverpool, Comolli played a pivotal role in the signings of notable players such as Jordan Henderson, Andy Carroll, and Luis Suarez, among others.

The connection between Toulouse and Liverpool was further highlighted when the two clubs faced each other in the Europa League group stage earlier this season, with both securing victories in their respective home games.

Toulouse, which returned to Ligue 1 in 2022, secured qualification for European competition by winning the French Cup last season.

Upon his return to Anfield, former Liverpool transfer chief Edwards stated that one of his main objectives would be to enhance FSG’s football club portfolio.

FSG is also reportedly considering expanding its sporting portfolio into Major League Soccer (MLS), with rumours suggesting they are exploring the possibility of acquiring an MLS club.

Additionally, FSG may also be interested in purchasing clubs in other regions as part of their broader expansion strategy.

This move marks a potential expansion beyond their current sports holdings, which include notable teams such as the Boston Red Sox in Major League Baseball (MLB), the English Premier League club Liverpool FC, the Pittsburgh Penguins in the National Hockey League (NHL), and Nascar’s RFK Racing.

FSG’s interest in the MLS and other regions underscores their ambition to diversify their investments and establish a stronger presence in the global sports market.
