John Henry insists that Fenway Sports Group are not looking to sell Liverpool.
The Boston-based hedge fund appeared increasingly open to the possibility of bringing their 12-year stewardship of the Anfield club to an end last year.
Investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were enlisted for a presentation on the Reds in November, leading to speculation of a takeover.
Fuelling those theories was the decision by FSG president Mike Gordon to step away from his role of overseeing the day-to-day running of the club.
But in an email exchange with reporter Sean McAdam from the Boston Sports Journal, Henry emphatically denied the group is willing to entertain a buyout .
He said: “I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about LFC, but I keep to the facts: we merely formalized an ongoing process.
“Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling LFC? No. Are talking with investors about LFC? Yes. Will something happen there? I believe so.
“But it won’t be a sale. Have we sold anything in the past 20+ years?”
