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.

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.
