Liverpool: FSG in talks to sell minority stake to Amit Bhatia consortium

A consortium led by British-Indian millionaire businessman Amit Bhatia has expressed an interest in buying a minority stake in Liverpool.

Bhatia, the son-in-law of the Indian billionaire businessman Lakshmi Mittal, was director and co-owner at QPR for 18 seasons but stepped down from the board and relinquished ownership of the club on Tuesday afternoon.

In a statement, Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) told BBC Sport: “An investment consortium led, managed, and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club.”

BBC Sport understands that the deal has not yet been finalised with FSG.

If the investment was to proceed, it would follow a similar deal made in 2023, when FSG sold a minority stake in the Reds to global sports investment firm Dynasty for between £82m and £164m.

FSG purchased Liverpool in 2010 for £300m, when the club was on the verge of administration.

According to the Financial Times, a deal with the consortium led by Bhatia would value Liverpool at more than $6bn (£4.5bn).
