Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has held talks about joining the Amit Bhatia-fronted consortium that has expressed interest in buying a minority stake in Liverpool, according to reports on Wednesday.
Bezos, one of the world’s richest men, could become part of the group led by British-Indian businessman Bhatia, the son-in-law of billionaire steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal.
Sky News reported Bezos’ interest but said he is not certain to proceed with the potential plan.
The 62-year-old American is estimated by Forbes to be worth around £192 billion ($257 billion).
Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group confirmed on Tuesday Bhatia’s consortium had approached them to discuss buying a minority stake in the 20-time English champions.
