Bezos Considers Joining Liverpool Investment Consortium

Speculation surrounds Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ potential involvement in a consortium led by former Queens Park Rangers co-owner Amit Bhatia for a minority stake investment in Liverpool. Currently, Liverpool is owned by Fenway Sports Group, led by John W. Henry and Tom Werner.

The proposed deal would not involve a full takeover but rather a minority stake. This situation has drawn attention to the growing presence of American investors in the Premier League, with a report indicating that for the 2025/26 season, ten clubs will have American ownership or significant investment.

The clubs include Arsenal, owned by Stan Kroenke; Aston Villa, which includes Wes Edens; Bournemouth, controlled by Bill Foley; Chelsea, jointly owned by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital; Crystal Palace, with multiple American investors; Everton, owned by Dan Friedkin; Fulham, under Shahid Khan; Leeds United, controlled by 49ers Enterprises; and Manchester United, majority-owned by the Glazer family.
