Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group and 1892 Holdings
Thursday
New details show Fenway Sports Group sold about 38% of Liverpool to the Jeff Bezos-backed 1892 Holdings consortium, a larger stake than the roughly 30% to one-third initially reported. Three representatives of the investor group will join Liverpool’s board.
FSG remains in control, but the transaction reportedly values Liverpool between £5bn and £6bn and gives 1892 Holdings an option to pursue majority ownership within 12 months. The clarified stake strengthens the consortium’s influence despite remaining a minority investor.
