Jeff Bezos has reportedly discussed joining a consortium that wants to buy a 30% stake in Liverpool FC. The English soccer giant is one of the sport’s most successful clubs, making any potential investment a major development for both football and business watchers.
The group examining the deal is said to be led by Amit Bhatia, the former co-owner of Queens Park Rangers. According to the report, the consortium has already submitted a provisional offer of £1.35 billion, or about $1.8 billion, for the minority stake.
The proposed purchase would involve Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool’s current owner. A deal of this size would likely draw close attention because it could reshape the club’s ownership structure without necessarily involving a full sale.
Bezos’ reported interest adds even more profile to the talks, given his status as Amazon’s founder and one of the world’s best-known billionaires. While the discussions do not confirm that an agreement will be reached, the report suggests Liverpool remains a highly attractive asset for wealthy investors looking at top-level European football.
