Cardinale assures AC Milan fans amid Liverpool rumours

RedBird Capital Partners founder and managing partner Gerry Cardinale has spoken about links to Liverpool.

Considering the Reds' owners, Fenway Sports Groups, are looking to sell the club or gain outside investment, rumours suggested that RedBird may be involved in the bidding process.

However, the Liverpool Echo had immediately stated that RedBird was not among the bidders for the club. They hold a stake in FSG..

Speaking to The Australian, Cardinale stated RedBird's focus was on its ownership stake in AC Milan.

While he had admiration for the “phenomenal asset" that is Liverpool, he stated that no bid was forthcoming.

Liverpool chairman and FSG's second in command, Tom Werner, stated to Boston Globe recently: "We're exploring a sale, but there's no urgency, no time frame for us, and as far as I'm concerned, it's business as usual.

"One outcome could be our continued stewardship for quite a while."
