Story summary

A consortium led by British-Indian millionaire businessman Amit Bhatia has advanced talks to buy a 30% stake in Liverpool Football Club, with Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, involved in the deal as part of the group. The owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), had previously confirmed that the consortium had expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment. Bezos, who has an estimated net worth of $256bn and is the 4th-richest person in the world, would own a significant portion of Liverpool if the deal goes through. This potential new investment comes after Liverpool became the top-earning Premier League club for the first time in January, according to analysis from fina. The consortium also includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and is led by Bhatia, who has a connection to Indian billionaire businessman Lakshmi Mittal through family ties.
