Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group and new football chief Michael Edwards are exploring a deal to buy Ligue 1 side Toulouse, sources have told Football Insider.

Talks over a potential buyout have been held as the US-based investment group look to build a multi-club network.

Toulouse and Liverpool are already linked - with the French club's 85% owners RedBird Capital holding an 11% stake in FSG.

Damien Comolli, transfer chief at Anfield between 2010 and 2012, is the president of the French club after being appointed following RedBird's takeover.

While at Liverpool, Comolli was responsible for the signings of Jordan Henderson, Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez - among others.

Liverpool owners FSG plan deal for Ligue 1 side Toulouse

Toulouse and the Merseysiders took each other on in the Europa League group stage earlier this season, with both sides winning their respective home games.

The Haute-Garonne side, who returned to Ligue 1 in 2022, won the French Cup last season to qualify for European competition.

Football Insider revealed earlier this month (16 March) that Liverpool owners FSG are also exploring the possibility of buying a Major League Soccer club.

Upon the statement released upon his return to the club, former Reds transfer chief Edwards revealed one of his priorities will be enhancing FSG’s football club portfolio.

They are already stakeholders in the Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Penguins and Nascar’s RFK Racing in the North American market.
