Amit Bhatia Consortium Nears $6 Billion Liverpool FC Stake

An investment consortium led by Amit Bhatia is nearing a deal to acquire a minority stake of roughly one-third in Liverpool Football Club. The group, which includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, values the Premier League club at approximately $6 billion (£4.4 billion).

Fenway Sports Group, the controlling shareholder since 2010, confirmed that the consortium has expressed interest in a strategic minority investment. While an official announcement is expected as early as this week, some reports indicate the timeline may shift into next week.

The potential acquisition occurs as the club undergoes a period of transition, including the departure of forward Mohamed Salah.
