NGJeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been in discussions with a consortium led by Amit Bhatia regarding a potential minority stake purchase in Liverpool Football Club. The consortium, which includes Bhatia—a British-Indian businessman and son-in-law of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal—has approached Liverpool's current owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), about acquiring a minority share. While Sky News reported Bezos' interest, it noted that he remains uncertain about proceeding with the deal. This follows previous attempts by Bezos to acquire stakes in NFL teams like the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders, which he ultimately abandoned. Meanwhile, Bhatia recently stepped down from the board of Queens Park Rangers (QPR), transferring his shares to the club's majority owner. In 2023, FSG sold a minority stake in Liverpool to investment firm Dynasty, and any agreement with Bhatia's group is anticipated to follow a similar structure. According to the Financial Times, such a deal could value Liverpool at over $6 billion.
