A consortium including the Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, is close to completing a deal for a 30% stake in Liverpool after months of talks with Fenway Sports Group. If finalised, the transaction would inject substantial new capital into the Premier League giants and place Bezos alongside a high-profile group of global investors. Bhatia’s deep experience in English football governance is expected to provide operational continuity as the new stakeholders integrate with existing management. The proposed 30% stake would value the transaction at roughly $1.8 billion, aligning with the £1.35bn contribution cited by The Guardian. His prior interest in NFL franchises indicates a long-held appetite for elite sports ownership, and the Liverpool deal may finally be the vehicle that brings that ambition to life.
