Liverpool F.C. Are in advanced talks over a £4.48bn bid that could hand a 30% stake to a consortium led by Amit Bhatia - and now Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is among the investors being sounded out.
A consortium led by Amit Bhatia - who just exited his QPR role - is pushing for a minority stake in Liverpool F.C., with the club’s valuation topping £4.48bn. It has been reported that Bezos has been approached to join the syndicate, though sources stress his involvement is far from certain.
Liverpool’s current owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), confirmed the approach on Tuesday. A spokesperson said: “An investment consortium led, managed, and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club.” The group could take up to 30% of the club.
Why Bezos matters for Liverpool F.C.
Bezos’ reported fortune stands at £192bn - roughly 43 times Liverpool F.C.’s valuation. If he joins, the Reds could unlock fresh funding for squad upgrades and infrastructure. Yet fan sentiment isn’t guaranteed. Many Reds supporters were alarmed in January 2025 when Bezos donated £750,000 to Donald Trump’s inauguration after his re-election win.
The Amazon founder’s political ties clash with Liverpool’s progressive image. Still, the club’s recent progress under FSG - despite missteps - keeps the mantra ‘better the devil you know’ alive as talks unfold.
Liverpool F.C. Currently sit 14th in the Premier League with zero points after two matches this season.
