FSG and Lebron James asked to unite Liverpool with LEGENDARY American team | OneFootball

FSG are to be presented with the chance to unite Liverpool with one of the biggest teams in American sport. Will they take it?

The Boston Celtics are up for sale and it's a move that could rock the sporting world. Boston Basketball Partners LLC, the majority owners, publicly announced their intention to sell earlier this year.

That's despite the Celtics winning the NBA Championship earlier this year - their first in 16 years. But now's the time to sell, clearly, with the Boston Herald reporting that BBP will reach out to 'qualified buyers'.

The only guaranteed offer will come from Steve Pagliuca, who is already a co-owner of the Celtics. Pagliuca also co-owns Atalanta, where he's the co-chairman. The business has made it public that he will attempt to buy further influence in the Celtics.

But there are more names in the frame. One particularly interesting one is Fenway Sports Group. They own Liverpool, of course, but also the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball.

That one's also a very hot one in the NBA as LeBron James owns shares in FSG and plays for the Celtic's arch-rival Los Angeles Lakers. There are enormous implications there, should FSG end up owning any percentage of the Boston franchise.

But it should be noted that, again per the Herald, there are conflicting reports over FSG's interest. Some say they're determined to be involved in the bidding, others say there isn't actually any interest.

Liverpool x Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics are the most storied team in NBA history, having won more championships than anyone (18). Their impact on the NBA is gigantic, with race relations, national cultural impact and just sheer dominance all playing roles in making them one of the more iconic American sports teams.

Uniting the Celtics with Liverpool, even just through ownership, would be historic - no matter how you look at it. While there's still an incredibly long way to go before that happens, it would be a notable event in the history of sport.

And it's certainly a story every Red should have an eye on over the next year.
