Elon Musk has reportedly shown interest in purchasing Liverpool, currently at the top of the Premier League and Champions League, with his AI service predicting six potential transfer targets. A recent report suggests that Musk has expressed a desire to acquire the club, which is owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG), though they sold a minority stake to Dynasty Equity in September 2023. Musk’s connection to Liverpool runs deep through his paternal grandmother, Cora Robinson, who was born and raised in the city before marrying Musk’s grandfather in 1944.
With a net worth of $425.2bn (£339.3bn), Musk’s potential acquisition of one of the world’s top clubs has sparked curiosity about the changes he might bring. His AI, Grok, was asked to suggest transfer targets for Liverpool, delivering some intriguing names. The AI suggested signing a high-profile American player like Christian Pulisic or Giovanni Reyna to strengthen the club’s North American presence. Additionally, it recommended a young, highly talented player like Jude Bellingham, though a move for the 21-year-old Real Madrid star seems unlikely, given his current commitment to Los Blancos. RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko was also identified as a promising forward, while the AI mentioned the possibility of signing an experienced superstar, such as Robert Lewandowski or Cristiano Ronaldo, though such a move is considered improbable.
Musk’s father, Errol, confirmed his son’s interest in buying Liverpool, citing the family’s ties to the city. He acknowledged that while the idea appeals to Musk, it doesn’t necessarily mean a deal is imminent.
Liverpool is currently valued at around £4.2bn, and while FSG has ruled out a full sale, it remains unclear whether they would entertain a bid above this figure, especially after the £4.25bn sale of Chelsea in 2022.
