Jeff Bezos has reportedly been approached by a consortium in talks to buy a stake in Liverpool - the Amazon founder who is the fourth-wealthiest man on the planet boasting a net worth exceeding £190billion.
On Tuesday, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), confirmed Amit Bhatia was leading a consortium that has shown interest in investing in the Premier League club. Bhatia formerly co-owned and directed Queens Park Rangers.
In a statement to our sister publication, the Liverpool ECHO, FSG said: "An investment consortium led, managed and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club."
Sky News reports that Bezos has discussed the possibility of joining Bhatia's group. The 62-year-old is not certain to invest, however.
The consortium is believed to already have the support of Lakshmi Mittal, Bhatia's father-in-law. He has a net worth of over £20bn and spearheaded a takeover of the Indian Premier League's Rajasthan Royals in May, valued at more than £1bn.
There is currently no investment agreement in place with Liverpool, but talks regarding a "significant minority stake" are in their initial stages. FSG previously struck a deal with Dynasty Equity in 2023.

Bezos is said to have reportedly explored bids for NFL teams in the past. The Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders have been a source of his interest, but he decided not to proceed with either deal.
The discussions taking place between FSG and Bhatia's consortium are said to value Liverpool at $6bn (£4.5bn). That would be broadly comparable to the valuation placed upon Manchester United when Ineos bought a stake two years ago.
