John W Henry has enjoyed quite a year: his beloved Boston Red Sox won the World Series and Liverpool fell just short of winning the Champions League.
The American businessman has backed Jurgen Klopp’s side with further investment since then, pushing the Reds closer to Manchester City and positioning themselves to be in the thick of the title picture.
Henry, now shifting focus to Anfield due to baseball’s off season, is looking to sell his Florida mansion.
The 69-year-old’s Boca Raton home could fetch him $25m (£19.6m) if he has his way.
Henry and wife Linda Pizzuti’s home has more than 27,000 square feet, including seven bedrooms and 19 bathrooms.

That’s because he made the Florida home his own 27 years ago for just $850,000 – worth at the time around £450,000.

Earlier this year Henry is reported to have rejected a £2 billiоn offer for the Reds .
And Henry made it clear, after heartache vs Real Madrid in the Champions League final, that he intends to oversee the remainder of the journey as the Reds bid for glory at home and in Europe.

“I think that Jurgen [Klopp] has solved our defensive issues and we are really strong at the back and in midfield, and everyone knows how good we are upfront.
“[Liverpool] as well is a very special team, and it could be a special season.”
