Red Bull Looking To Add An English Football Club To Its Portfolio

Red Bull is planning to add to its "portfolio of football teams around the world by buying an English club," according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. The brand has stated that England "is the next football territory" on its radar during recent talks with clubs about players. And the speculation has intensified with Red Bull's football guru Ralf Rangnick, director of sport at Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, "coming over to watch three games last weekend" at Chelsea, League One side Charlton and League Championship side Brentford. Although none of those clubs "are currently for sale," many others in the Premier League and Championship "would welcome a Red Bull takeover with open arms." RB Leipzig claims 58-year-old German coach Rangnick, who has been linked with the England manager's job, "would be on club rather than Red Bull business in London" (DAILY MAIL, 11/9).
