Amit Bhatia-Led Group Makes Offer for Minority Stake in Liverpool

Overview

• A consortium led by Amit Bhatia has made a provisional proposal to buy about 30% of Liverpool and Fenway Sports Group has confirmed it received the approach.
• Jeff Bezos has been invited to join the consortium and is in talks about taking part, but he has not committed to investing.
• Published reports differ on the club's price, citing valuations that range roughly from £4.5 billion to about £6 billion for the proposed minority deal.
• Bhatia recently gave up his Queens Park Rangers stake to avoid conflicts of interest and the consortium is reported to have financial ties to the Mittal family.
• If completed, the minority sale would follow FSG's 2023 partial sale and could add fresh capital to help Liverpool compete financially while FSG keeps control.
