Jeff BezosA consortium including billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has advanced its talks to buy about a 30% stake in Liverpool, BBC Sport has been told.
The group is led by British-Indian millionaire businessman Amit Bhatia and also includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.
Owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) confirmed last month that the group had “expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club”.
FSG, who bought Liverpool in a £300m deal in 2010, previously sold a minority stake in the Anfield side to global sports investment firm Dynasty Equity.
In January, Liverpool became the top-earning Premier League club for the first time, according to analysis from financial firm Deloitte.
