Elon Musk would like to buy Liverpool – Billionaire's father claims

Elon Musk is rumoured to be interested in buying English Premier League club Liverpool from the Fenway Sports Group (FSG).

And although the owners of the nineteen-time league winners have shown no signs of putting the club up for sale, there have been several reports that the world’s richest person is interested in purchasing the club.

In an interview with Times Radio, Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, alluded to his son's possible interest in purchasing the Premier League team in response to these rumors.

I can’t comment on that. They’ll raise the price. Oh, yes. But that doesn’t mean he’s buying it. He would like to, yes, obviously. Anybody would want to—so would I.

Errol Musk also brought up the family's ties to Liverpool, which may account for the reported interest.

His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives there. We were fortunate to know quite a lot of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family. So, we are attached to Liverpool, you know.

FSG takeover Liverpool

FSG, who paid £300 million for Liverpool in 2010, have looked into outside investment options in the past but has never thought about selling the team outright.

In May 2023, Forbes ranked Liverpool as the fourth most valuable football club in the world, with a valuation of £4.3 billion. Nonetheless, Musk's projected net worth of £340 billion is way higher than this estimation.

In September of 2023, FSG sold Dynasty Equity a minority stake valued at between £80 and £160 million. The sales procedure, which had begun in November 2022, came to an end.
