Bhatia-led consortium explores minority stake in Liverpool

A consortium headed by British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia is interested in buying a minority stake in Liverpool. The proposed investment has not been completed, according to the BBC report and FSG’s position in the article.

Bhatia recently left his role as director and co-owner at QPR, where he had been involved for 18 seasons. His business background includes investment banking, construction, real estate and private equity.

For Liverpool, the approach fits into a wider ownership picture under Fenway Sports Group. FSG bought the club in 2010 and has previously brought in minority investment, including the 2023 deal with Dynasty, which was presented as support for the club’s financial position after major infrastructure spending.

The possible valuation remains a point for caution: the article cites Financial Times reporting that a Bhatia-led deal could value Liverpool at more than $6bn, but that figure is not presented as confirmed by FSG. Editors should also treat wider governance and personnel angles as background rather than as settled outcomes.
