Red Bull Reportedly Looking at Buying Premier League Club

Red Bull could be adding a Premier League club to their list of teams they own according to reports.

The Austria-based firm already has established links within football as owners at Austrian league leaders Salzburg, allergist Major League Soccer franchise New York Red Bulls and also German club Leipzig, sale as well as at sides in Brazil and Ghana.

The company’s sporting assets also include two Formula One teams: Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso.

According to the Sunday People, Red Bull are eyeing an English top-flight side. Anglophile coach Ralf Rangnick, sporting director of Red Bull Salzburg, is apparently heading the search.

An insider for the Mirror said: “Red Bull want a team to take into the Champions League. It is the only market they have not reached yet. Ideally this would be in the London area, but both Everton and Liverpool interest them too because it would not take much to get them to that level.

“They have looked at the Championship, but you can spend fortunes there and not make any progress.”

However, Christian Horner who is Team Principal at Red Bull Racing is not convinced by these reports.

“I would doubt it,” Horner said to BBC Radio Five Live’s Sportsweek.

“They have got their own team in Salzburg, they have another one in Germany, so I am not sure they would want to take another one on at the moment, but with Red Bull, you never know.”
