Liverpool’s owners reportedly have ‘no appetite’ to sell the club despite Elon Musk’s father claiming the billionaire wants to buy the Reds…

After Musk’s father, Errol Musk, said his son would “like to” purchase Liverpool from Fenway Sports Group, The Times claim the Tesla and X owner has not contacted the American owners. Moreover, insiders allegedly say there is no desire to have any talks as a result of a radio interview as it lacks seriousness.

Musk is the world’s richest man, with an estimated wealth of £340 billion ($424.6bn). While FSG sold a minority stake to United States investment firm Dynasty Equity in September 2023, it seems they will not entertain an approach from Musk – even if he presented them with a lucrative offer.

When asked on Times Radio if his son wanted to buy Liverpool, he replied: “I can’t comment on that, they’ll raise the price! Oh yes, [he has expressed a desire], but that doesn’t mean he’s buying it. He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to – so would I.”

Away from takeover speculation, Arne Slot’s Liverpool take on Tottenham on Wednesday in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
