A consortium including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is close to agreeing on a deal to acquire a stake of about one-third in Premier League club Liverpool. Reports indicate that the group has advanced its talks to purchase approximately 30% of the club.
The investment would reportedly value Liverpool at about $5.9 billion. This figure would make it one of the largest valuations ever achieved in a football club deal.
This move follows a pattern of US billionaires investing in British sports. Other individuals, such as Mark Walters and Todd Boehly, already hold stakes in UK football and other sports teams.
