What happened: Liverpool said Friday that Fenway Sports Group entered a definitive agreement with 1892 Holdings. Amit Bhatia leads the investor group, which includes funds backed by Jeff Bezos and Eduardo Saverin.
Why it matters: The investment reshapes Liverpool’s boardroom without transferring operational control. The new capital is intended to support the club’s long-term financial resilience and growth.
By the numbers: The consortium is acquiring more than 30% of Liverpool, reportedly valuing the club at about $6 billion. FSG bought Liverpool for £300 million in 2010.
What to watch: The transaction must complete before the ownership and board changes take effect.
