The investment group also includes Eduardo Saverin, co-founder of Facebook, as indicated in the reports.
According to Sky News, the consortium is being led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal and a former stakeholder in the English second-tier club Queens Park Rangers. An announcement regarding the deal could come from Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group as soon as this week.
The investment would reportedly place Liverpool’s valuation at around £4.4 billion ($5.9 billion), positioning it among the highest-ever valuations in football club transactions.
FSG, which took over Liverpool in 2010, has been seeking external investment in recent years while maintaining ownership of the club. A deal at this valuation would highlight the significant appreciation of Liverpool’s value during FSG’s 16-year stewardship.
Neither Liverpool nor FSG has provided immediate comments on the reports.
Following their Premier League title win in 2025, Liverpool is embarking on a transitional period after the exits of manager Arne Slot and star forward Mohamed Salah. Michael Edwards, who played a pivotal role in assembling the squad that led Liverpool to their first English league title in 30 years in 2020, departed his position as chief executive officer of football at Fenway Sports Group in July.
