A Mittal-backed consortium led by businessman Amit Bhatia is in talks to acquire a significant minority stake in Liverpool FC at a valuation exceeding $6 billion, according to reports. The proposed deal would rank among the largest investments in Premier League history and value Liverpool among the world’s most expensive football clubs. Bhatia has already transferred his stake in Queens Park Rangers to the club’s majority owner, a move seen as preparation for the potential Liverpool investment. Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), have confirmed discussions with prospective investors as they explore strategic investment options while retaining overall control of the club.
