Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has reportedly held talks about joining a consortium led by British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia, which has expressed interest in purchasing a minority stake in Liverpool FC. The potential deal, if it proceeds, could see Bezos, one of the world's wealthiest individuals, become part of the investment group. Liverpool's current owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), have confirmed discussions with Bhatia's consortium. This comes after Bhatia recently stepped down from the board at Queens Park Rangers (QPR) and transferred his stake to the majority owner. FSG previously sold a minority stake in Liverpool to investment firm Dynasty in 2023, and any new deal is expected to follow a similar structure. According to reports, a deal with Bhatia's consortium could value Liverpool at over $6 billion. FSG acquired Liverpool in 2010 for £300 million.
