Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group reportedly have no interest in selling up to Elon Musk. In a shock revelation, the billionaire’s father Errol revealed his son was keen on buying the Merseyside club and becoming the new outright owner.
Asked if the Tesla chief was interested in a deal, Musk Snr said: “Oh,yes. But that doesn’t mean he’s buying it. He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to, so would I.”
The comments immediately sparked speculation that a bid was imminent, with fans reacting with concern to the news online.
But according to the Mail, Liverpool club personnel have dismissed the prospect of any bid. FSG are said to have no interest in a sale, and have also received no approach from the X owner.
Musk is widely regarded as the world’s richest man. According to Forbes, he has a net worth of more than £330billion, although has previously distanced himself from every buying a sports team.
Back in September 2023, FSG agreed to sell a minority stake in the club worth between £82m and £164m to Dynasty Equity. However, any imminent sale is unlikely, given the Reds currently top the Premier League and are unbeaten in the Champions League, with their valuation set to soar if they go on to lift either trophy.
