Errol Musk, the father of popular tech multi-billionaire, Elon Musk has hinted that his son has the desire to buy England’s most successful club, Liverpool.
Musk senior shared his thoughts on Times Radio when asked about the rumors surrounding his son’s intention to buy the Merseyside club.
He went on to say that the current owners of the club will increase the price if he speaks on the rumors.
“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!”
Errol Musk went on to add that Elon Musk’s grandmother was born in Liverpool and the family has relatives in the city.
“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…”
Liverpool is currently owned by Fenway Sports Group, an American multinational form that owns a good number of sports teams around the world.
Fenway Sports Group owns Major League Baseball side Boston Red Sox, National Hockey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins amongst others.
The sports group as of writing has no intention of selling Liverpool according to reports in the United Kingdom.
However, the group sold a minority stake in the club in September 2023 to Dynasty Equity, a New York-based private equity company.
The deal was worth between $100 million and $200 million.
The fund raised from the sale reportedly covered bank debt from the pandemic, the new Axa training center, the new Anfield Road stand, player purchase and the repurchase of Melwood training ground.
