Weeks after sending message to Cristiano Ronaldo, billionaire Elon Musk rumored to be interested in buying Premier League giants

Reports have emerged suggesting that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is interested in purchasing Liverpool Football Club, as per British newspaper *Weekend Sport* (via *Sports Illustrated*). This comes weeks after Musk congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo on X following his stellar performance for Al-Nassr in the AFC Champions League.

 

Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr defeated Al-Gharafa 3-1 on November 25, 2024, with the Portuguese star scoring a brace. Celebrating the victory, Ronaldo tweeted:

 

“Big win tonight!”

 

Elon Musk, who noticed the performance, replied:

 

“Congrats!”

 

Ronaldo playfully responded on November 26, 2024, with:

 

“@elonmusk… Glad your eyes have time for good ‘soccer.'”

 

Beyond the interaction, Musk’s alleged interest in Liverpool has sparked widespread speculation. The 53-year-old, known for his vast wealth and influence, has reportedly turned his attention to acquiring the Premier League club, which is owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG). Musk, currently the world’s richest person with a net worth of $421.2 billion, could theoretically afford Liverpool, which Forbes valued at over £4 billion in 2023.

 

FSG purchased Liverpool in 2010 for £300 million, and there has been no public indication from the group’s president, Mike Gordon, or other executives that they are looking to sell. As a result, these reports remain speculative and should be approached with caution.

 

Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s excellent form for Al-Nassr has been a focal point this season. The 39-year-old has scored 16 goals and provided three assists in 19 appearances, leading his team to third place in Group B of the AFC Champions League standings. Ronaldo and Al-Nassr are set to resume their Saudi Pro League campaign on January 9, 2025, against Al-Akhdoud following their winter break.
