Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), agree to sell a minority stake in the Premier League club to a consortium backed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Multiple outlets report the stake is about one-third of the club, though the exact percentage is described in slightly varying terms.
The deal is confirmed as an agreement between FSG and the consortium, which is identified as 1892 Holdings and includes several prominent international investors. The Athletic reports that FSG will retain majority ownership and operational control of Liverpool even after the sale. Other coverage focuses on the consortium’s high-profile backers, highlighting Bezos’ involvement.
Across the reports, the common details are the minority nature of the transaction, the approximate scale of the stake, and the role of FSG as the continuing majority owner. The outlets differ mainly in how they describe the stake size and the emphasis placed on the consortium’s composition and Bezos’ participation.
