Everton, one of the English Premier League teams, occupied the agenda of the sports media with the possibility of the club being sold rather than the green pitches in recent days. The reflection in the press of those claims that the managers of The Friedkin Group, one of the current owners of the club, were seriously thinking of disposing of Everton mobilized the club legends immediately. Former defender Michael Ball, who sweated the Everton jersey successfully for years, made a very striking statement that drew all the attention to himself. The former star player made an open call to the famous billionaire Elon Musk, the founder of the technology giant Tesla and the space company SpaceX, to buy the Everton club. However, the real reason behind this interesting call of Michael Ball was not just the future of the club. The successful defender referred to their arch-rivals Liverpool in this purchase offer he made to Elon Musk. As it is known, Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce giant Amazon, recently entered English football by being included in that new ownership consortium of the Liverpool club. Acting exactly from this point, Michael Ball clearly stated that he wanted to carry that huge global rivalry between Musk and Bezos, the two richest people in the world, to the English Premier League and especially to that famous Merseyside derby. The possibility of these two names, who are in a fierce competition in many areas from the space race to the technology sector, facing each other on the football pitch created a very great excitement in the English football public. Former star footballer Ball claimed that the potential investment Elon Musk would make in the Everton club would not only lift the team up but also carry the global viewability of the league to a much different dimension. While all these statements resonated greatly in the sports press, no response came from the billionaire businessman Elon Musk to this call.
