Liverpool’s owners have agreed to sell around a third of the club to a consortium that includes billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, in a deal valuing the Reds at more than £5bn.
The agreement concerns a major minority stake in one of English football’s most prominent clubs. The transaction would see the consortium take control of approximately one-third of Liverpool FC, while the club’s existing owners would retain the remainder.
The consortium is described as being backed by Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon. The supplied details do not specify the full membership of the group or the exact percentage being sold beyond it being around a third of the club.
The valuation attached to the deal places Liverpool at more than £5bn, underlining the scale of investment now attached to leading Premier League clubs. The Reds are among the best-known names in world football, and the sale of such a substantial minority holding represents a significant ownership development.
The latest known position is that Liverpool’s owners have agreed the sale. No further terms, completion timetable or operational implications were provided in the supplied material.
