Liverpool fans have a theory about potential 30% sale that could involve Jeff Bezos

Liverpool may not be doing a lot on the pitch this summer, but FSG seem to be planning for a future which involves them having less control of the club.

The Reds have enjoyed much success under the American ownership, including adding to their Champions League collection and finally winning the Premier League.

But a consortium led by Amit Bhatia has now been mooted to buy 30% of Liverpool, and they are trying to get Amazon founder Jeff Bezos involved in the deal, which many fans think is going to lead to an eventual full takeover of the club.

How happy would you be if FSG sell Liverpool? 💰

Liverpool fans think FSG are going to leave the club

Bhatia’s consortium and FSG are thought to have held talks already, with a valuation of $6bn placed on Liverpool.

That is a similar valuation to what Manchester United were given when Ineos bought their stake, which is thought to be around 28.4% of the club.

In turn, Liverpool’s potential new investors would actually own more of the Reds than Ineos owns of their rivals.

This has led to many suggesting that FSG could eventually sell up completely and the Merseyside outfit will be taken over fully:

• “Most definitely will lead to full take-over, you’d think
• “This is definitely FSG’ route out. The new consortium will eventually take over big news
• “Should be a full takeover then no?
• “And people think this won’t lead to a full purchase down the road….
• “I’m guessing this would eventually turn into a full takeover once FSG decides they’ve had enough?
• “This could be FSG’s exit strategy from football.”

Who is Amit Bhatia?

Bhatia, the man leading the charge to buy part of Liverpool, is the son-in-law of billionaire steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal.

Up until last week, he held a stake in Championship outfit QPR, but gave that up as he moves forward with plans to buy part of the Reds.

He is a British-Indian businessman and entrepreneur with an estimated net worth of around £22bn.

Bhatia has made most of his money by operating businesses in construction, real estate, and private equity, having previously worked for Morgan Stanley on Wall Street.
