Jeff Bezos is in talks to buy a 30 percent stake in Liverpool FC, a source familiar with the negotiations, in a move that would give the Amazon founder his first foothold in elite sports ownership and potentially pave the way for full control of the Premier League club.
The speculation over fresh investment at Anfield and early reports that London-based businessman Amit Bhatia had sounded out Bezos about joining a bid. According to the source, what began as exploratory contact has now hardened into a plan for a Bezos-backed consortium to acquire a 'significant minority' shareholding in Liverpool, subject to regulatory approval and agreement with current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG). Nothing is confirmed yet, so everything should be taken with a grain of salt.
