Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has held talks about joining an investor group that is seeking to buy about 30% of Liverpool, according to a monitored public feed citing The Guardian Business.
The consortium is led by former Queens Park Rangers co-owner Amit Bhatia and has reportedly put forward a provisional offer worth £1.35 billion for the stake, which would be purchased from Fenway Sports Group. The group is said to be looking for additional backers to help finance the bid.
Bezos, whose fortune is estimated by Forbes at about $257 billion, would bring major financial firepower to the effort if he were to take part. He is currently ranked as the world’s fourth-richest person, according to the same ranking referenced in the feed.
The report adds that Bezos has previously explored the idea of buying stakes in NFL franchises, suggesting an ongoing interest in sports ownership. No further details were provided on the talks, including whether any agreement is close or what role Bezos would play if he joined the consortium.
