Liverpool’s owners FSG have ‘no appetite to sell’ the club despite recent reports suggesting Elon Musk is interested in buying the Merseyside outfit.
The world’s richest man’s father today claimed during an interview with Times Radio that his son would ‘like to’ purchase the Anfield-based side.
Errol Musk did also add ‘that doesn’t mean he [his son] is buying it’, but his comments have sparked a mixture of excitement and uncertainty amongst Reds supporters.
The Times’ Chief Sports Correspondent Matt Lawton, as relayed by @DaveOCKOP on X, has now shot down any potential speculation – by claiming John Henry and Co. are not interested whatsoever in parting ways with the club they’ve owned since 2010.
FSG have divided opinion since rescuing Liverpool from Tom Hicks and George Gillett’s catastrophic tenure.
The American’s don’t tend to splash the cash as much as many other European footballing giants but they’ve expanded Anfield’s capacity from 45,000 to more than 60,000 while also overseeing the club’s move from Melwood to their state-of-the-art training complex in Kirkby.
They’ve done more good than bad on Merseyside and although some supporters may suggest its time for FSG to move on – it appears we won’t see Musk replacing them anytime soon.

If he buys Liverpool, Liverpool will face rhe same fate as Twitter. Better not sell to an irresponsible lunatic.
Well FSG must invest in top quality players to strengthen the club, THAT is the real test of commitment to the serial success of the club!! Failure to do so will make us doubt their full benefit and value to the club. My personal view is they must sell, we thank them for stabilizing the club, but now LFC needs owners who are going to make the club a DOMINANT force in football like Real Madrid!!
Tell me about the “serial success of the club” under the previous owners. FSG have done a wonderful job since taking over. The team, squad, ground and facilities have improved significantly since 2010. Liverpool are no more entitled than any other club to dominate at home or abroad.
Elon is visionary, he will transform Liverpool better than anyone expected. I love his leadership styles and hope to see the acquisition succeed
