The Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has held talks about joining the consortium that is seeking to buy around 30% of Liverpool.
Will Bezos' consortium deal on Liverpool FC finalize before 2026-2027 Premier League kick-off?
The group led by the former Queens Park Rangers co‑owner Amit Bhatia has made a provisional offer of £1.35bn to buy a stake from Fenway Sports Group (FSG), and is talking to other potential investors over supplying funding.
Bezos has a personal fortune of around $257bn, according to Forbes, making him the fourth-richest person in the world.
Sources with knowledge of the talks have indicated that any deal with Bhatia’s consortium would see Bezos receive equity in Liverpool.
Amazon had live UK rights for 20 Premier League games each season for six seasons until the end of last year, and broadcasts the Champions League in several European countries, as well as NFL in the US.
