Jeff Bezos Considers Joining Amit Bhatia's Liverpool Bid

The list of global heavyweights circling Liverpool has gained a familiar name from the tech world. Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder and one of the richest men on the planet, has held talks about joining the Amit Bhatia-fronted consortium exploring a minority investment in the club, according to reports in England on Wednesday.

Bezos, 62 and valued by Forbes at around £192 billion ($257 billion), is understood to be considering taking a place in the group led by British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia, though Sky News reported he has not yet committed to moving forward.

For Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool’s owners since 2010, this is the latest sign that the club remains one of football’s most powerful financial magnets. On Tuesday, FSG confirmed that Bhatia’s consortium had formally approached them over a minority stake in the 20-time English champions.

The potential deal would not be a full-scale takeover. FSG, who also own the Boston Red Sox, have already tested the market once, selling a minority share in 2023 to investment firm Dynasty. Any agreement with Bhatia’s group is expected to follow a similar structure, keeping FSG in control while bringing in fresh capital.

The numbers underline Liverpool’s rise under FSG’s stewardship. The Financial Times reported that a deal with the Bhatia-led consortium would value the club at more than $6 billion. FSG paid just £300 million when they acquired Liverpool in 2010.

Bhatia himself is no stranger to English football. His move on Liverpool came on the same day he stepped down from the board at QPR, ending an 18-year association with the Championship side. He transferred his stake to majority owner Ruben Gnanalingam, clearing the decks just as his interest in Anfield became public.

Bezos has hovered around elite sport before. He explored potential bids for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders but ultimately chose not to pursue either franchise. Now his name is being linked with one of Europe’s most storied clubs, in a deal that would be about strategic alignment and brand power rather than outright control.

For Liverpool, the courtship of a Bhatia-Bezos axis points to a future where American sports ownership, Indian boardroom influence and tech wealth converge on Merseyside. Whether Bezos steps fully into that picture remains unresolved, but the valuation, the names involved and the timing all signal one thing: Liverpool are operating firmly in the sport’s financial elite, and the world’s biggest players are still queueing up to buy a piece.
