Premier League remains one of the most popular soccer leagues in the world. Many clubs are attracting businessmen to invest in the clubs due to massive profits. Clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly up for sale with an asking price of more than a billion. LeBron James is a minority owner of Liverpool FC. However, the club owners have put the Reds up for sale, after which LeBron will get his returns from the investment he made. Now, ‘Black Panther’ star Michael B. Jordan is a minority owner of AFC Bournemouth.
