Fenway Sports Group are close to selling roughly one-third of Liverpool to a consortium fronted by Amit Bhatia and including Jeff Bezos and Eduardo Saverin. The proposed investment is being discussed at a valuation of £4.4bn ($6bn), with an announcement possibly coming this week.

The stake and the valuation

FSG bought Liverpool from Tom Hicks and George Gillett on October 15, 2010, and this latest move would take the club into a new ownership phase without a full sale. The size of the stake is still being described as roughly one-third or a large minority share, so there is no exact final percentage confirmed yet.

That uncertainty has not stopped the pricing being bold. Sky reported the proposed investment could value Liverpool at £4.4bn ($6bn), which is a serious figure even by Premier League standards.

Why Liverpool can command that price

The football case is not hard to see. Liverpool finished 5th in the 2025 Premier League season and 3rd in the 2025 UEFA Champions League group/league phase table with 18 points from 8 matches, so this is not a club being priced like a distressed asset.

Dynasty Equity already injected £164m into Liverpool in 2023, and the club is currently listed as the fourth most valuable in the world. Those details help explain why a minority stake can attract heavyweight money rather than looking like a patch-up job.

Mark Kleinman, writing for football365.com, said: "Exclusive: A consortium including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin is closing in on a deal to acquire a large minority stake in Liverpool Football Club, with an announcement from current owner FSG possibly coming this week."

FSG also 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 timing remains the one loose end. Reports point to an announcement this week, but there is still room for it to spill into next week if the paperwork is not finished in time.
