Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen Pagliuca has given his response to the potential takeovers at Manchester United and Liverpool after being asked whether is interested in investing in either of the Premier League giants.
The American private equity investor was interested in buying Chelsea last year when the club was up for sale before it was eventually sold to the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital-led investment group. Earlier in 2022, Pagliuca became the co-chair of the Italian side Atalanta after fronting a consortium that acquired a controlling stake in the club.
The billionaire, who has headed up operations at investment fund Bain Capital for the last 30 years, became a co-owner of the NBA's Celtics in 2003, winning a Championship five years later and reaching the finals in 2010 and 2022 only to lose to Golden State Warriors. The 68-year-old's previous interest in purchasing Chelsea means questions will be asked whether he has an interest in United or Liverpool.
