Fenway Sports Group (FSG), owners of Liverpool FC, are in discussions to acquire struggling French club Bordeaux.
The club faces potential relegation to the third-tier National 1 after failing to meet financial guarantees for the upcoming season, as stipulated by the French football financial watchdog, DNCG.
Bordeaux has appealed the decision and now has a limited timeframe to finalize a sale that could secure their place in Ligue 2 for the next season.
