Overview
- Fenway Sports Group confirmed Tuesday that an investment consortium led, managed and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in buying a strategic minority stake and that discussions are at an early stage with no agreement finalised.
- Financial Times and other reports say the proposed deal could value Liverpool at more than $6 billion, a figure consistent with independent valuations published earlier this year.
- Amit Bhatia stepped down from his role and transferred his QPR ownership on Tuesday in line with English football rules that discourage holding stakes in clubs that could compete in the same competitions.
- The move would follow FSG's 2023 minority sale to Dynasty Equity and would likely be structured as a minority capital injection to strengthen the club's finances rather than a full takeover.
- FSG bought Liverpool in 2010 for about £300 million and has since grown the club commercially and on the pitch, with revenues topping £700 million in 2024–25, so additional investment could boost transfer funds, infrastructure and long‑term planning.
