"Liverpool have pulled out of a long-running investment plan. The Reds are enduring a tough campaign, finding themselves down in eighth place in the Premier League as they look to defend their title and bed in over 400 million of new talent. But while Liverpool spent heavily over the summer, there is a longer-term plan at play with recruitment, which has taken a turn due to new events."
"Sources have claimed that after analyses, FSG found that the Madrid outfit needed aggressive improvement right now but given that La Liga sides are limited by spending rules that limit outside investment, it would have been too much of a challenge for FSG. FSG were quoted a figure of around 130 million to buy the club owned by construction magnate Angel Torres, but after months of work researching the club, the cost was found to be much higher."

Fenway Sports Group made several structural recruitment changes and rehired Michael Edwards in 2024 as Chief Executive of Football with a broader remit.

La Liga spending rules that limit outside investment and higher-than-reported purchase and upgrade costs pushed the deal beyond FSG's appetite. Qatari firm TA International Investment Holding emerged as the likeliest suitor for Getafe after FSG withdrew.
