FSG have made their intentions very clear as they look to potentially snap up a former Manchester City employee.

The well-regarded Pedro Marques, currently employed as Benfica’s technical director, has fallen under Fenway’s gaze, David Ornstein reported on X on Saturday afternoon.

EXCL: Liverpool owners FSG working on move for Benfica technical director Pedro Marques as part of new set-up. Would be employed by FSG rather than #LFC & focus on 2nd club operation. Former Man City + highly regarded. W/ @JamesHorncastle @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/p9TbnNJtdI

FSG preparing a framework before the move

It’s a remarkably well-run operation Fenway are conducting, preparing a framework that could immediately slot in and around the next football club they had to their sporting stable.

It’s a huge show of intent, first and foremost, and seems a strong step in the right direction as we put the building blocks in place for a multi-club model.
