Jeff Bezos and Eduardo Saverin are part of a consortium closing in on a deal to buy a roughly one-third stake in Liverpool Football Club, according to reports. The Amazon founder and the Facebook co-founder would become the latest tech giants to enter English football through the purchase of a large minority share in the 20-time English league champions. News of the possible investment first emerged last month. The consortium is reportedly nearing an agreement for the stake, though no final announcement has been made. Liverpool, one of England's most successful clubs, would gain wealthy new backers if the deal goes through. The reports, originating from Sky News, describe the deal as close but not yet complete. Neither Bezos nor Saverin has commented publicly. The move reflects a growing trend of technology billionaires investing in top European football clubs.
