Summary
- Consortium led by Amit Bhatia nears deal for Liverpool FC stake.
- Investment values the club at approximately £4.4 billion ($5.9 billion).
- Fenway Sports Group acquired Liverpool in 2010.
An investment consortium featuring notable figures like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin is reportedly nearing an agreement to purchase approximately one-third of Premier League club Liverpool. The investor group is allegedly led by Amit Bhatia, who has prior experience with English football clubs.
Reports suggest that Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group (FSG) could finalize the deal imminently, potentially this week. This transaction would value the renowned football club at around £4.4 billion ($5.9 billion). Such a valuation highlights the significant growth in Liverpool's market worth during FSG's 16-year stewardship, following their acquisition in 2010.
The club is currently undergoing a period of change, having recently seen manager Arne Slot depart and prolific forward Mohamed Salah leave. Key football executive Michael Edwards also departed his role in July, adding to the team's transition.
