A consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is nearing a deal to acquire a stake of approximately one-third in Premier League club Liverpool, according to Reuters, Channel News Asia, and Al Jazeera.

The investment would reportedly value the club at around £4.4 billion ($5.9 billion), demonstrating one of the highest valuations for a football club to date, as reported by multiple outlets including Reuters, Channel News Asia, and Al Jazeera.

The consortium is led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, and also includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. As stated in the reports, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which has owned Liverpool since 2010, could announce the deal within this week, according to Reuters, Channel News Asia, and Al Jazeera.

FSG has explored outside investment options while maintaining control of the club, as they have witnessed significant appreciation in Liverpool's value during their tenure. Liverpool, the 2025 Premier League champions, are currently undergoing a transition period following the departure of manager Arne Slot and key player Mohamed Salah, according to Reuters, Channel News Asia, and Al Jazeera.
