Is Jeff Bezos Joining Consortium To Buy Stake in Liverpool FC?

The exclusive list of businessmen owning Premier League football clubs might be about to welcome Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to their inner circle if recent reports are to be believed. Liverpool FC owners Fenway Sports Group are reportedly preparing for an approach to purchase a stake in the club from a consortium led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of billionaire steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, in the coming weeks.

According to Sky Sports correspondent Mark Kleinman, Bhatia has invited the world's fourth-richest man to join their syndicate of investors looking to purchase a stake in the 20-time EPL champions. The Jeff Bezos Liverpool story has generated a lot of excitement and reactions among Reds fans, who have shared their opinions online.

Is Jeff Bezos Joining a Consortium to Buy Stake in Liverpool FC?

According to recent reports, the talks are still at initial stages and discussions are ongoing about any potential interests in purchasing a small stake in Liverpool. Bezos has reportedly explored bids in the past for big-time sporting franchises in the NFL, including the defending Super Bowl champions, Seattle Seahawks, and the Washington Commanders.

While any progression of serious interests as Liverpool new owner will be a surprise move from the American billionaire, and a continuation of American money into one of the best football leagues in the world, English Premier League. Clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea already have American owners, who have come under immense scrutiny in recent years.

How Much Does Liverpool Value Liverpool in 2026?

According to the Financial Times, the talks between Mr. Bhatia's consortium and FSG are said to place a valuation of at least $6 billion on Liverpool. The valuation would be lower than the figures achieved by a number of American sports teams in recent transactions.

Any potential transaction could be broadly comparable to the valuation attributed to the Red Devils when INEOS and Jim Ratcliffe bought their stake in the Manchester-based side two seasons ago. Bhatia had reportedly relinquished control of his stake in the Championship side Queens Park Rangers earlier this week, setting the way for his consortium's prospective investment in Liverpool.
