Report: Mukesh Ambani makes contact about potential Liverpool purchase

In surprising news, the Reds has been approached by the Indian billionaire worth $90 billion with a purchase proposition.

Mukesh Ambani, one of the world's richest men, has expressed interest in purchasing the club. But he will have to contend with other entities from the Middle East and the United States since Liverpool's current owners, FSG, have been inundated with proposals.

The statement came after FSG decided to dispose of the club after assuming over in 2010 and winning every conceivable title. But it is reported that Liverpool could be set for an Indian purchase. With Forbes ranking Mukesh Ambani as the world's eighth richest person, and he has reportedly enquired about the club.

It is believed that Liverpool's present owners, Fenway Sports Club, are willing to sell the club for $4 billion and that there have been many higher proposals from interested parties. And Ambani, who is worth billions of dollars, will not be worried by this figure.

What could the takeover mean for Indian football?

It is reasonable to say that Mukesh Ambani is a major sports lover. This is considering he owns one of the IPL cricket heavyweights, the Mumbai Indians, as well as the Indian ISL football league (Indian Super League).

And if he becomes their owner, it might be a tremendous boost for Indian football. In a country where cricket is the most popular sport and is considered a religion. This might help football grow quickly. With the Premier League extending their grassroots and Liverpool, a six-time Champions League winner, seeing their shirt making massive sales.

Liverpool will surely be able to expand their team by acquiring the top players in Europe. Since Ambani may be viewed as a person who can inject millions into the transfer market. He would be ready to listen to their visions, having developed one of the most costly cricket teams, the Mumbai Indians, who hold the record for the most IPL trophies, having won it five times.

according to the Mirror, it remains to be seen who FSG will choose as the new owner. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley may explore the waters over possible investment in the club or full ownership.
