Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), have completed the sale of a 30 percent stake in the Premier League champions to a consortium featuring Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia.
The deal, reportedly worth about £1.65 billion, values Liverpool at approximately £5.5 billion and represents one of the biggest minority investments in English football.
FSG confirmed it had reached a “definitive agreement” with 1892 Holdings for the strategic minority investment.
