Liverpool Owners Near £1.35bn Stake Sale to Bezos Consortium

In a significant move for Liverpool FC, the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), are reportedly on the verge of finalizing a £1.35 billion sale of a 30% stake to a consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. This development comes after extensive negotiations that have captured the attention of the football world. Leading the consortium is Amit Bhatia, a prominent investor and son-in-law of billionaire Lakshmi Mittal. Bhatia's previous experience as a shareholder and director at Queens Park Rangers adds a layer of credibility to the investment group. Additionally, Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin is also part of this high-profile consortium. The potential sale underscores a growing trend in football where tech and business titans are increasingly looking to invest in premier clubs, signaling a new era of financial backing for Liverpool. Fans will be keenly watching how this investment could impact the club's future ambitions both on and off the pitch.
