Liverpool’s current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) confirm that a consortium led by businessman Amit Bhatia is in discussions about making a strategic minority investment in the Premier League club. Multiple outlets report that Bhatia’s group has approached Amazon founder Jeff Bezos about joining the consortium as part of the potential deal. Reports describe the investment as a minority stake rather than a takeover, with the consortium seeking to participate in Liverpool’s ownership structure. Sky News is cited in connection with the reports that Bezos could be added to the syndicate led by Amit Bhatia, described as the son-in-law of steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal. While details of the consortium’s exact proposal and timing are not confirmed across outlets, all accounts consistently frame the matter as talks involving FSG, a Bhatia-led consortium, and the possibility that Bezos may join that group. None of the sources provide finalized terms for a purchase or indicate that a transaction has been completed. The discussions are presented as ongoing.
