Liverpool have reportedly approached Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin as part of a consortium to buy a stake in the club, according to Sky News.
Saverin's wealth and background
The Brazilian entrepreneur, who has a reported net worth of £24.3bn according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, was approached by the club several weeks ago. The 44-year-old co-founded Facebook in 2004 with Mark Zuckerberg and is now a partner at B Capital Group, a US-based venture capital firm that backs AI, healthcare and financial startups.
Previous Chelsea interest
Saverin was part of a consortium that attempted to buy Chelsea during the 2022 auction of the Premier League club following Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Liverpool are seeking to sell a minority stake that would make the buyer the second-largest shareholder at Anfield.
This is a breaking story. More details will follow.
