Former Everton defender calls on Elon Musk to buy the club

Ex-Everton defender Michael Ball has urged Elon Musk to consider purchasing the club. His comments came after reports emerged that The Friedkin Group is exploring the prospect of selling the team.

In Ball's view, a potential acquisition of Everton could add a new chapter to the longstanding rivalry with Liverpool. The former footballer also mentioned Jeff Bezos, who has been linked to a new consortium of owners at the Merseyside club.

Ball expressed a desire to see Musk enter the fray for one of the city's clubs, reigniting the competition with Bezos in a football context.
