Indian billionaire

According to reports, Mukesh Ambani, the eighth richest person in the world, has renewed his interest in buying the Anfield-based club.

However, this is not the first time that Ambani has indicated an interest in acquiring the English Premier League giant. He has reportedly tried to buy a majority stake in the club several times in the past but it has not materialized for one reason or another.

According to a report in The Guardian, Ambani’s first interest in Liverpool dates back to 2010 when it was owned by Tom Hicks and George Gillett. At the time, Ambani’s net worth was $20 billion while it has now increased nearly fivefold to $92.6 billion.

Meanwhile, Indian fans are excited about this deal as they believe it will help change the football landscape in our country. It will also benefit the club by giving a massive boost to its fan base in the second most populous country on the planet.

Possible competitors

A recent report issued by the English newspaper “The Sun” stated that there are some candidates who will compete for the purchase of the club.

At the top of this list is Elon Musk, the current owner of the social networking site “Twitter”, stressing that he is considered one of the most prominent candidates to buy Liverpool, especially that his fortune amounts to about 175 billion euros, and he was among the candidates because he had previously announced his interest in buying Manchester United.

The English newspaper said that the second candidate is basketball legend LeBron James, but confirmed that he has already owned a share of the Reds shares estimated at 2% since 2011, and the name of Sir Jim Ratcliffe also appeared in the report, given that he is the richest man in Britain, where his wealth is estimated at 15 billion pounds sterling.

The newspaper also confirmed that Billy is among the American businessman among the names nominated to buy Liverpool, stressing that he owns 11% of the “Fenway” group that currently owns Liverpool, which makes him the closest candidate to buy the percentage offered for sale.

The English newspaper put the name of billionaire Mohsen Bayrak on the list of candidates to buy Liverpool, as he built his empire worth 8 billion pounds by investing in various fields, such as tourism and construction.

Gulf Offers

Kuwait Sports TV analyst Adel Al-Mishri reported that the deal between the owners of Liverpool was made by an unnamed buyer in Qatar.

While the British newspaper, the Daily Mirror, reported that an investment group in Dubai made an offer worth 4.3 billion pounds to buy Liverpool.

However, if Adel Al-Mishri’s report is correct, it appears that the bid from Dubai has failed.
