A consortium looking at buying a stake in Liverpool has approached Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos over joining their bid.
According to Sky Sports, Initial talks between Bezos and a syndicate of investors led by British-Indian millionaire businessman Amit Bhatia have been held.
Reports suggest that Bezos has not made any decision on adding a share of the Premier League club to his £192billion empire.
The Liverpool consortium is led by former QPR co-owner Bhatia, who is also the son-in-law of billionaire steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal. They are currently in talks to purchase a minority stake in the Anfield giants, having hired advisers to put together a deal with current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG).
A small stake in the club – reportedly four per cent – was sold by FSG to Dynasty Equity, a US private equity firm, for £164million in 2023.
