Who is Amit Bhatia? The British-Indian millionaire expressing interest in Liverpool minority stake

  • A consortium led by British-Indian millionaire Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in acquiring a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club.
  • Bhatia is the son-in-law of billionaire Lakshimi Mittal, whose family recently acquired a controlling stake in the Indian Premier League team Rajasthan Royals .
  • Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the owners of Liverpool, confirmed they had been approached regarding the potential investment.
  • This development coincides with Bhatia's departure from the QPR board, concluding an 18-year involvement with the club.
  • Discussions are currently at an early stage, and no deal has been agreed, with any potential investment expected to be a minority stake similar to a previous deal with Dynasty.
