Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) remain in talks with a consortium interested in buying a minority stake in the club which has been confirmed by the club’s CEO.
Billy Hogan is Liverpool’s chief executive officer, and he was interviewed by Bloomberg anchor Dani Burger to learn some more info about the reported investment talks.
While he confirmed that talks are ongoing with a consortium led by Amit Bhatia, the Liverpool chief did not give away any details.
He said: “I can only refer back to the statement from FSG last week that we have been approached by a consortium that’s led, managed and represented by Amit Bhatia for a strategic minority investment in the club. And I wouldn’t say anything than that at this point.”

What did FSG’s statement say?
Last week, when news of the minority investment talks began, FSG released a statement which reads: “An investment consortium led, managed and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club.”
What are the latest updates on the consortium talks with FSG?
Bloomberg reports today that the group are “planning to eventually obtain a controlling stake in the Premier League club”, which means the talks currently underway with FSG will just be the beginning of their future on Merseyside.
This will be met with a wide-ranging reaction from Liverpool fans, who have historically rejected the type of changes a group like this will hope to see.
The main issue that will likely appear in the coming years will be an increase in the cost of following Liverpool, which is already a costly undertaking when you factor in the price of season tickets, matchday tickets, travel costs for those outside Merseyside, the ever-increasing cost of club merchandise, not to mention the rising costs of TV subscriptions both domestically and abroad.
Bloomberg also reports: “Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin have also been approached to join the consortium, the people said. Representatives for Bezos and Saverin didn’t respond to requests for comment.
“Fenway has made it clear that it would consider selling Liverpool at some stage. It previously explored a sale in 2022, hiring Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley. About a year later, it sold a minority stake to New York-based private equity firm Dynasty Equity Partners Management.”
