Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group and 1892 Holdings
Friday
Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have entered a definitive agreement to sell roughly 30% of the club to 1892 Holdings, a consortium involving Jeff Bezos, Amit Bhatia and Eduardo Saverin. FSG will retain majority ownership and operational control.
The transaction values Liverpool at roughly £5bn to £6bn and could return more than £1.5bn to FSG, pending regulatory approval. Bhatia will become vice-chairman, while the investment brings global business and technology links without creating a new transfer budget.
