Bezos-Backed Consortium Nears Deal for About One-Third of Liverpool

A near-term minority sale would inject roughly £1.35bn into the club with Fenway Sports Group retaining majority control.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Monday that a consortium led by Amit Bhatia and said to include Jeff Bezos and Eduardo Saverin is in advanced talks to buy a stake just above 30% in Liverpool.
  • Reports place the club's valuation at about £4.4–4.5 billion, meaning a c.30% stake would cost roughly £1.35 billion if the deal is completed.
  • Fenway Sports Group would remain the majority owner under the reported structure, making this a strategic minority investment rather than a change of control.
  • Neither Liverpool nor FSG has officially confirmed a completed sale and coverage describes the situation as developing with an announcement possible soon.
  • FSG previously sold a minority stake to Dynasty Equity in 2023 and any new capital could be used for debt reduction or infrastructure but the intended use of proceeds has not been disclosed.
