Amazon's Jeff Bezos holds talks to join Amit Bhatia consortium in Liverpool bid

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been discussing joining a consortium led by Amit Bhatia to acquire a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club, according to reports. The consortium, which includes Bhatia, a British-Indian businessman linked to billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, is seeking to invest in the Premier League club. While Sky News reported Bezos' interest, it noted that the deal is not yet certain. Bhatia recently stepped down from the board of QPR after an 18-year tenure, transferring his stake to majority owner Ruben Gnanalingam. Any potential deal with Bhatia's group would follow a similar structure to a 2023 transaction where Fenway Sports Group (FSG) sold a minority stake in Liverpool to Dynasty. The Financial Times estimates such a deal could value Liverpool at over $6 billion.
