Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Monday that a group led by Amit Bhatia and said to include Jeff Bezos and Eduardo Saverin is closing in on buying just over 30% of Liverpool.
- Reports put the deal’s implied valuation at about $6 billion, a large jump from the club’s last external minority sale in 2023 that valued Liverpool above $4.5 billion.
- Fenway Sports Group confirmed it received an approach from Bhatia’s consortium and would remain the controlling shareholder if the transaction is a minority sale.
- The potential investors bring deep tech and private‑capital ties, which could change commercial strategy, broadcast opportunities, and governance influence at Anfield if the deal completes.
- The talks come as Liverpool navigate recent sporting and executive changes, and supporters can expect questions about transfer spending, board input, and how new capital will be used.
