Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos is in talks to join the consortium led by the Mittal family amid a wide range of reactions from supporters to the news of investment talks in FSG.
Liverpool fans have, by and large, reacted with disappointment at hearing Bezos may soon be affiliated with the Reds. A small portion, by my own gauge, have joked about leading to bigger transfer kitties, but football clubs can only spend what they earn throughout the fiscal year.
That said, there is no denying that selling a 30% stake – the rumoured slice of pie available – would increase Liverpool’s commercial prowess, which in turn would yield higher profits.
However, Liverpool have always prided themselves on trying to do things the ‘right’ way. Of course, this is very subjective but protests are not an uncommon thing at Anfield as fans have far more sway than at other clubs.
It will be interesting to see how fans respond if things progress.
Jeff Bezos has held talks about joining the consortium that is seeking to buy around 30% of Liverpool. Sources with knowledge of the talks have indicated that any deal with Bhatia’s consortium would see Bezos receive equity in Liverpool. The Bhatia bid for Liverpool is understood…

Consortium minority stake would be a lot bigger than the Dynasty Equity deal
Reporting for Sky Sports News, journalist Mark Kleinman says that not only would this deal rival the biggest of its kind in the Premier League, it is also far more significant than the deal struck with US investment firm Dynasty Equity from 2023.
Kleinman said: “It’s pretty significant news, not just for Liverpool but for English football.
“The Financial Times is reporting this ‘strategic minority stake’ would be valued somewhere north of $ 6Billion (£4.5bn). At that level, it would rival the biggest deals struck for a stake in an English Premier League club, broadly comparable to Man Utd and Chelsea in the last five years.
“I should caution that this deal is not yet done. It’s still at a relatively early stage, and it’s my understanding there are a number of other participants in the consortium fronted by Mr Bhatia.
“But I would be very surprised if Jeff Bezos did not end up forming part of this deal, and taking a stake in Liverpool when it gets across the line at some point in the coming months.
“This won’t be the first minority stake that FSG has sold. A couple of years ago it brought in another US investment firm called Dynasty Equity to buy a relatively small stake.
“This is much larger, potentially 30 per cent, and it will inevitably fuel speculation that in the coming years FSG will look to exit Liverpool.
“FSG are currently saying there are no plans to relinquish Liverpool and it’s a minority deal. But if the deal does go ahead, it will raise expectations that, let’s say in the next three years, FSG will hand over ownership of the club.”
