Jeff Bezos Eyes 30% Minority Stake in Liverpool FC
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is reportedly part of a consortium aiming to acquire a 30% minority stake in Liverpool FC. The supporters group Spirit of Shankly has expressed concerns and has sent a letter to the club requesting clarification on the proposed deal, including its potential impact on boardroom matters and adjustments to the club's structure with new external stakeholders.
Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which purchased Liverpool in 2010, has indicated openness to external investment, with recent interest from a consortium led by Amit Bhatia. The consortium, which includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, is looking to make a significant investment in the Premier League club, valued at £3.3 billion.
Liverpool fans are anticipating further clarification regarding this minority investment deal with FSG soon.
