Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reported to be close to a deal to buy a significant stake in Liverpool Football Club through a consortium. Multiple UK outlets say talks are at an advanced stage and that an announcement could be imminent.
The reports describe the planned investment as a “strategic minority” stake of roughly one-third of the club, though the exact terms and final ownership percentages are not stated. Sky News and related coverage say the consortium is approaching agreement, while other outlets also frame the effort as a move involving Bezos.
The Independent notes that Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), confirmed last month they had been approached about a strategic minority investment. Other reports identify the consortium as being led by Amit Bhatia and include Bezos as part of the group. While outlets largely agree on the stake size and minority-investment nature, they differ slightly in emphasis—some focus on how near the deal is, others highlight consortium leadership or the prospect of co-ownership—without providing additional verified deal details.
