A consortium led by former Queens Park Rangers co-owner Amit Bhatia is in talks about buying a minority stake in Liverpool. Fenway Sports Group has confirmed that the group has expressed interest in a strategic investment, but the discussions have not yet produced an announced agreement.
The potential investment group is backed by the Mittal family and has appointed advisers to work on a possible transaction with FSG. Bhatia transferred his QPR shareholding to Ruben Gnanalingam on 21 July, ending his formal ownership role at the London club.
Sky Sports reports that any Bhatia-linked investment could resemble Liverpool’s 2023 minority stake sale to Dynasty Equity, a passive investment that helped address debt and capital spending rather than fund future transfers. That context matters for supporters expecting a direct effect on squad spending.
FSG bought Liverpool in 2010 and remains the club’s owner. The reported valuation context, attributed to the Financial Times, puts a possible deal above $6bn, though the size of any stake and the financial terms have not been confirmed.
