Amit Bhatia consortium discusses minority stake purchase in Liverpool

Summary

A consortium led by businessman Amit Bhatia is in talks to acquire a minority stake in Liverpool FC. The proposal comes from Bhatia, who recently stepped down from co-ownership at QPR. Liverpool's current owners, Fenway Sports Group, have acknowledged the interest but state that no deal has been finalized. A successful investment could mirror FSG's 2023 deal, which valued a minority stake at up to £164 million. Sources indicate that a deal with Bhatia's consortium would estimate Liverpool's value at over $6 billion.
