Liverpool F.C. is on the cusp of a major investment deal, with Jeff Bezos and Eduardo Saverin reportedly set to buy a 30% stake in the club. The move comes at a delicate time for world football, with UEFA and FIFA at odds over the future of the sport.
The deal, which is expected to be announced in the coming days, will see Bezos and Saverin join forces with Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, to buy a significant stake in Liverpool F.C. The consortium is being led by Bhatia, who was until recently a major shareholder and boardroom player at English Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
The investment deal is a significant development for Liverpool F.C., which is one of English football's best-supported teams. The club has a rich history, having won multiple top division titles, especially in the 1970s and 1980s, and six European Cups - more than anyone else in the UK. They most recently won the Premier League in 2024-25, but finished a disappointing fifth, 25 points behind champions Arsenal.
The deal is expected to be announced in the coming days, with Sky News reporting that FSG plans to make an announcement on the deal in "coming days," but that this could push into next week. The news comes at a very delicate time for world football, with European association UEFA effectively at war with world governing body FIFA, whose President Gianni Infantino has faced a barrage of criticism after announcing a plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to the likes of Joshua Kushner, the brother of President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 5th in Premier League, 60 pts, 17W-9D-12L from 38 games, recent form DLDLW. Goals this season: 63 scored, 53 conceded (+10 goal difference). Title race: 25 points behind leaders Arsenal.
