Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly in talks to acquire a 30% stake in Liverpool Football Club, marking a shift from his earlier focus on American football teams.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has reportedly entered discussions to buy a 30% stake in Liverpool Football Club, according to sources familiar with the talks. The move would see the billionaire shift his investment focus from American football, where he previously pursued a bid for the Washington Commanders, to the Premier League.
Bezos’s interest in Liverpool comes at a time when the club is exploring new ownership structures to support its ambitions on the pitch and in the global market. While the exact terms of the proposed stake remain undisclosed, the club’s board has indicated openness to external investment.
The news follows the recent sale of the Seattle Seahawks, which was finalized by a different consortium, underscoring a broader trend of American sports owners looking beyond domestic leagues. If the deal proceeds, it could bring significant capital and global branding opportunities to Liverpool.
Analysts suggest that a 30% share would grant Bezos a substantial influence over club strategy without taking full control, potentially aligning the club’s commercial operations with Amazon’s extensive digital ecosystem.
