A consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is close to agreeing a deal to acquire a ​stake of about one-third in Premier League club Liverpool, ‌multiple media outlets reported on Monday.

The investor group also includes Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder, according the reports.

Sky News reported that ​the consortium is being led by Amit Bhatia, ​the son-in-law of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal and a ⁠former shareholder in English second-tier club Queens Park Rangers, ​and that Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group (FSG) could announce ​a deal as early as this week.

The investment would reportedly value the club at approximately £4.4 billion ($5.9 billion), making it one of the largest ​valuations ever achieved in a football club deal.

FSG, which ​acquired Liverpool in 2010, has explored outside investment in recent years ‌while ⁠retaining control of the club. A deal at the reported valuation would underline the substantial increase in Liverpool's worth during FSG's 16-year ownership.

Neither Liverpool nor FSG immediately commented on ​the reports.

Liverpool, who ​won the ⁠Premier League title in 2025, are entering a period of transition after the departure ​of manager Arne Slot and prolific forward Mohamed ​Salah.

Michael ⁠Edwards, who was widely credited with helping build the squad that won Liverpool's first English league title in 30 years ⁠in ​2020, left his role as chief ​executive officer of football at Fenway Sports Group in July.
