Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly part of a consortium set to acquire a stake in English Premier League football club Liverpool, according to multiple media reports. The investor group, led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, aims to purchase about one-third of the club. The investment, valued at approximately £4.4 billion ($5.9 billion), would represent one of the largest valuations ever achieved in a football club deal.
Current Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group is reportedly expected to announce the deal this week. The acquisition comes as Liverpool faces challenges, including a fifth-place finish in the Premier League last season and the departure of key player Mohamed Salah. The new investment is seen as a strategic move to bolster the club's defensive options and address recent defensive setbacks.
