**In recent weeks, there has been a lot of chatter about FSG selling a minority stake in Liverpool in what could be a huge development for the club.**
A consortium led by Amit Bhatia – who recently left his role at QPR – including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, are now in talks to complete the deal.

“One source indicated that an announcement was expected in the coming days, although they cautioned that it could slip into next week.

“If completed, the deal would install a trio of the world’s wealthiest individuals as co-owners of the Reds, one of the most successful teams in the history of English football.”
Some of the wealthiest individuals in the world getting together to run one of the most successful football clubs in the history of the sport has a nice ring to it.
Liverpool have been quite successful after FSG’s takeover – especially under Jurgen Klopp – and the club will be eager to continue on the same trajectory.
