F1 owners Liberty Media may invest in Liverpool FC
The Premier League football club’s owners Fenway Sports Group are looking for major media companies to buy a minority stake, and Liberty Media are in the mix, the Telegraph report.
Liverpool are not up for a full sale so it remains unknown how big the stake that Liberty Media are interested in acquiring could be.
US-based Liberty Media took control of F1 in 2017 and have overseen a major increase in popularity.
Liberty Media were named by Forbes as the ‘World’s Most Valuable Sports Empire’ this year. They were valued at $21 billion (£16.8bn).
The Atlanta Braves, Drone Racing League and Meyer Shank Racing are also under the Liberty Media banner.
The current Liverpool owners were named by Forbes as the fourth-most valuable sports empire.
Liberty Media rejected a $20bn bid from Saudi Arabia to buy F1 last year, according to Bloomberg.
