New Delhi: Elon Musk’s father revealed that his son wants to buy Premier League’s table toppers Liverpool. Fenway Sports Group owns a major part of Liverpool.
Musk who also owns X (formerly known as Twitter) and automobile giant Tesla has a staggering net worth of £340 billion, which makes him the richest person in the world currently.
FSG sold a minority stake in Liverpool two years ago to Merseyside club to address challenges, including repurchasing the Melwood training center.
As of now, Liverpool are currently valued at £4.3 billion and stand at fourth position on the list of most valuable clubs as per reported by Forbes. A full sale of the club has not been discussed yet but Errol Musk affirmed Elon’s interest in buying Merseysiders.
In a conversation with Times Radio, he revealed his son wants to buy Liverpool, “Oh, yes. But that doesn’t mean he’s buying it. He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to – so would I.”
“His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives in Liverpool, and 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,” he added.
Liverpool owners have been the subject to criticism for not investing much in the club. Currently, Liverpool tops the table in the Premier League and are yet to lose a single game in the UEFA Champions League.
Couple of players including Mohamed Salah and Trent-Alexander Arnold are yet to sign a contract extension and it remains a mystery how things will turn out for the club in the near future.
