Liverpool primed for business: Bezos, Bhatia and the next steps at Anfield
Fenway Sports Group looks to be locked in talks with a consortium led by the son-in-law of Lakshmi Mittal while the Amazon founder has now been linked
What has happened?
A consortium led by Amit Bhatia, the former co-owner of Queens Park Rangers and son-in-law of the Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, has opened talks with Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group, over buying a significant stake in the club. Neither party has commented on the size of the stake or the investment amount being offered, but it is believed to be a provisional offer of £1.35bn for about 30%. Discussions began three months ago, but FSG insists the talks remain at a preliminary stage.
