Jeff Bezos Consortium Nears Minority Stake Acquisition in Liverpool
Liverpool FC is poised to welcome new investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, as a consortium approaches the completion of a minority stake purchase in the club.
Reports indicate that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is set to announce the sale of a stake worth about one-third of the club, with an announcement expected later this week. Bezos is joining the investment group, which is led by Amit Bhatia, alongside Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.
The investment is anticipated to value Liverpool at around £4.5 billion, marking one of the highest valuations for a football club. This move comes amid scrutiny of football's financial landscape, particularly following FIFA president Gianni Infantino's controversial plans regarding World Cup commercial rights.
