For several seasons, the Premier League has been the most media-focused championship in Europe and even in the world. Enough to attract the owner of Formula 1 who would like to establish himself in the English championship.
Even if the Premier League brings a lot of money to the clubs, leading an English team is not easy. Manchester United are for sale, while Liverpool and Tottenham are not closed to the idea of the arrival of a new investor. That’s good, because according to information from the Sunday Express, Liberty Media, which bought the Formula 1 world championship in 2017, is interested in taking over a Premier League club. F1 has grown from a capital of 3.7 billion euros six years ago to nearly 19 billion euros now. Greg Maffei, boss of Liberty Media who has already owned the Atlanta Braves baseball team since 2007, is not insensitive to the charm of English clubs and a Premier League giant could be taken over by the powerful American group.

If Manchester United has been in advanced negotiations with Qatar and Ineos for several months, the sale of the Red Devils has not been formalized. Regarding the Reds, there have been rumors that the Liverpool bosses are looking to sell. The English media also claim that ENIC Group is open to the arrival of additional investors to help Tottenham finally compete with other English teams. Thanks to Liberty Media, F1 has once again become one of the most popular sports in the world and may decide to move into football. It remains to be seen which pit F1 will arrive in and whether it will be a major or minor player from a Premier League club. All English clubs have been studied, but Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs are the three most credible candidates to welcome the owners of motorsport’s premier competition.
