Liverpool’s owners agree a deal is being reached to sell roughly a third of the club to a consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Multiple outlets report the agreement is in advanced stages, with an anticipated announcement soon, though some details vary by report.

BBC and Sky News describe the stake size as around one-third, valuing Liverpool at more than £5bn. Other outlets add context on the consortium’s scale and composition, including references to FSG (Liverpool’s current owners) and a reported £1.35bn investment figure involving businessman Amit Bhatia. The Mail Online and reports citing Sky also describe the consortium as aiming for about a one-third or roughly 30% position.

Yahoo Sports adds discussion around fans seeking clarity on what the bid means for ownership and control, quoting the Spirit of Shankly supporters’ group calling for club interests to come first. Additional coverage notes Bezos has no prior experience owning a sports team, while also mentioning his past links to major sports ownership discussions.
