A consortium led by Amit Bhatia and including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has acquired a 38% stake in Liverpool FC from Fenway Sports Group (FSG), according to fresh reports. The stake is significantly larger than the roughly one-third share initially reported. The consortium, 1892 Holdings, also includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and the Mittal Family Trusts. FSG will retain majority ownership and operational control of the Premier League club. Bezos is a lead investor through K5 Sports but is not expected to hold a board seat. Bhatia will become Liverpool’s vice-chairman. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval, while the consortium reportedly has an option that could eventually lead to majority ownership.
