A consortium led by British-Indian entrepreneur Amit Bhatia agrees to acquire a minority stake in Liverpool FC. Reporting indicates the purchase covers about 30% of the club, with an estimated investment of around £1.7 billion. Liverpool’s current owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), are set to retain the majority stake.
The deal positions FSG to continue operational oversight while the consortium becomes a significant minority investor. The consortium described across reports includes contributions from the Mittal Family Trusts and K5 Sports, as well as involvement from Eduardo Saverin’s family office. Outlets also describe the transaction as a new chapter in the club’s financial and ownership landscape.
While the coverage is consistent on the stake size and the role of FSG, the emphasis differs slightly. One report focuses on the reported investment size and the list of consortium participants; another highlights statements from Bhatia, who says the consortium is proud to invest alongside FSG. The details on timing or regulatory approvals are not included in the provided excerpts.
