Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos Invited to Join Consortium for Minority Stake in Liverpool FC
According to an exclusive report by Sky News, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been approached to join a consortium led by Amit Bhatia, which is in negotiations to acquire a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club. The consortium may acquire up to 30% of Liverpool's shares, with the club valued at at least $6 billion. Bezos has discussed joining the investment group, but sources caution he may not ultimately commit funds. Bhatia, son-in-law of billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, recently divested his stake in Queens Park Rangers to facilitate the potential deal. Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool's current owner, confirmed the consortium's interest in a strategic minority equity investment. If Bezos invests, it would mark his first sports team ownership, though American investment in Premier League clubs is common. The deal structure is similar to Fenway's 2023 agreement with Dynasty Equity.
