Consortium featuring Jeff Bezos close in on stake in Liverpool FC Updated / Monday, 10 Aug 2026 14:57 The consortium is reportedly close to acquiring around one-third of the club in a deal that would value Liverpool FC at £4.4 billion A consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is close to agreeing a deal to acquire a ⁠stake of about one-third in Premier League club Liverpool, multiple media outlets are reporting. Sky News reported that the consortium is being led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal and a former shareholder in English second-tier club Queens ‌Park Rangers, and ⁠that Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group could announce a deal as early as this week.

FSG, which acquired Liverpool in 2010, has explored outside investment in recent years ⁠while retaining control of the club. A deal at ‌the reported valuation would underline the substantial increase in Liverpool's ⁠worth during ‌FSG's 16-year ownership.

Neither Liverpool nor FSG immediately commented on the reports. Michael Edwards, who was widely credited with helping build the squad that won Liverpool's first English league title in 30 years in 2020, left his role as chief executive officer of football at Fenway Sports Group in July.
