Bezos consortium advances talks for stake in Liverpool
A group including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos advances its talks to buy about a 30% stake in Liverpool, BBC Sport has been told.
A consortium led by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and including British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin is advancing its talks to acquire about a 30% stake in Liverpool Football Club, according to BBC Sport. FSG, Liverpool's owners, confirmed the group's interest in making a strategic minority investment in the club last month.
Bezos, the fourth-richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $256bn, is the founder of Amazon. The consortium's interest comes after FSG sold a minority stake in Liverpool to global sports investment firm Dynasty Equity in the past.
