Liverpool’s owners agree to sell a minority stake in the Premier League club to a consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, according to reports. The deal involves Amit Bhatia, described as the son-in-law of industrialist Lakshmi Mittal, who is part of the acquiring group.
Both outlets frame the transaction as the acquisition of a minority position rather than full ownership. The reports do not specify the purchase price, the exact percentage of shares being sold, or whether the consortium includes other investors beyond Bezos and Bhatia. They also do not detail whether the agreement is subject to regulatory approvals or when the stake transfer would be completed.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the core facts: Liverpool’s owners are selling a minority stake and the consortium’s leadership includes Bezos, with Bhatia also named as a participant.
