Liverpool are on the rise in the Premier League and Champions League under Arne Slot . However, the dream of taking the team to higher levels with the current potential is still limited. That is why the interest of billionaire Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, has raised expectations among his fans.
According to Forbes, Liverpool are currently valued at around £4.3 billion. While current owner Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has no intention of selling the team, Elon Musk, with his vast wealth and determination, could change that.
One of the first names mentioned in the ‘Elon Musk version Liverpool’ claim is Kylian Mbappé . With his speed, technique and extraordinary goal-scoring ability, Mbappé is the type of player that every team would want to have.
Mbappé currently plays for Real Madrid on a weekly salary of £250,000 after tax, the same amount as Liverpool star Mohamed Salah. Mbappé’s contract runs until 2029, making his transfer a huge challenge. However, considering Musk’s financial resources, the possibility does not seem far-fetched.

Mbappé has said he draws inspiration from legends such as LeBron James, who is a minority shareholder in Liverpool – a connection that could be an advantage if the Merseyside club are serious about signing him.
If Mbappé cannot be brought to Anfield, Alexander Isak would be a more suitable but equally quality option. The Newcastle United forward has given Liverpool a headache this season, scoring 13 goals and displaying an intelligent and versatile style of play.

Newcastle are said to be willing to sell Isak for around £150m, but with the right style of play Isak could become Liverpool’s ‘dream striker’, especially at a time when Darwin Nunez is not so consistent.
Virgil van Dijk, one of the best defenders in Premier League history, is entering the final years of his career as he approaches the age of 34. Arsenal’s William Saliba has emerged as a potential candidate as Liverpool look to find a successor to their key centre-back position.
Saliba is only 23 years old but has made over 100 appearances for Arsenal and has proven he could be Liverpool’s new ‘Steel Shield.’ While it seems unlikely that Arsenal would sell their star player to a direct competitor, if Elon Musk is behind it, all scenarios are possible.

If Mohamed Salah leaves Liverpool, the gap on the right wing will be huge, and in this context, FC Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal is considered the ideal replacement.
At just 17 years old, Yamal has attracted attention with 14 goals and 21 assists for Barça. However, he has a release clause of up to £866 million, making the transfer very difficult. But when it comes to Elon Musk, nothing is impossible.
If Elon Musk does indeed take over Liverpool, the team will not only change financially, but will also be able to add more talented players to its roster. While names like Mbappé, Isak or Saliba would add immediate strength to the team, young talents like Yamal offer a long-term future.

With Musk, fans have every right to dream of a “disruptive” Liverpool in every arena, helping the team maintain its Premier League position as well as increasing the likelihood of many years of Champions League dominance.
