“Are talking with investors about LFC? Yes. Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won’t be a sale.”

The American was speaking in a question-and-answer session conducted over email.

“I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about LFC, but I keep to the facts: we merely formalised an ongoing process,” said Henry.

His comments were published prior to Liverpool facing Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at Anfield on Tuesday.
