Liberty Media chief executive Greg Maffei has confirmed that the Formula 1 owners want to invest in a Premier League club.
The United States media giant was named as one of the contenders keen on investing in Liverpool earlier this year.
The Reds’ owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are eyeing major media companies as potential investors to acquire a minority stake in the Merseyside club.
Liverpool are looking for funding for the next stage in the club’s development, and Liberty could soon hand them a much-needed boost.
“You mention the Premier League teams – there isn’t an asset we haven’t looked at,” Maffei told the Walker Webcast.
“That doesn’t mean we’ve been ready to buy them all but we look at everything because we do think sports in general is attractive.
“We do think there are upsides and do think those things that management teams have taught us can help apply perhaps in other sports situations.”
Liberty has a net worth of £16.3 billion and Liverpool could utilise their investment.
Formula 1 signed a 15-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur in March, which would see the world’s first in-stadium electric karting track built under their South Stand.
The facility is expected to be the longest indoor track in London, and the media giants have the finances to buy a partial stake in Liverpool and provide them with much-needed funding.
FSG acquired the Anfield club for around £300 million in 2010 but are unwilling to sell all their stake.
They sold 10% to private investment firm RedBird in 2021, which helped provide funding for the £60 million Anfield Road stand due to open next season.
Liverpool have signed Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion this summer but could do with more quality additions following an underwhelming season.
