Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has reportedly held discussions about joining a consortium interested in buying a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club. The group is led by Amit Bhatia, and according to reports, Bezos has expressed interest but has not yet committed to the deal.
Liverpool, one of the most successful clubs in English football history, has been exploring options for partial ownership. A minority stake would allow the current owners, Fenway Sports Group, to bring in new investors while retaining control.
Bezos, one of the world's richest people, has shown increasing interest in sports investments. He previously attempted to buy a National Football League team but was unsuccessful. This potential move into European football would mark a new venture for the billionaire.
The consortium, backed by Bhatia—a businessman with ties to the sport—is reportedly seeking to acquire a minority share. However, the talks are still in early stages, and Bezos may decide not to proceed.
Neither Liverpool nor Bezos have officially commented on the reports. The club continues to perform strongly on the pitch, sitting near the top of the Premier League table. A potential investment from Bezos could bring significant financial resources, but no final decision has been made.
