A New Name in the Boardroom
Liverpool confirmed in mid-August that Fenway Sports Group has agreed to sell a 38% minority stake to 1892 Holdings, a consortium led by British-Indian businessman and former QPR co-owner Amit Bhatia. The group also includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, giving the Reds a strikingly high-profile set of new investors.
Bhatia will take the role of vice-chairman and sit on the club’s board alongside Elaine Saverin, Eduardo’s wife, and Bryan Baum of K5 Sports, who also represents Bezos’s interests. Bezos himself will not take a board seat. FSG retains majority ownership and day-to-day operational control, so there is no immediate change expected to how the club is run.
Notably, the consortium has also been granted an option — not a commitment — to acquire a controlling stake in Liverpool within the next 12 months, a clause that has fuelled plenty of speculation about the club’s longer-term ownership structure.
Fresh Capital for a Club in Transition
The investment lands at a pivotal moment on the pitch. This is Liverpool’s first season since 2016-17 without Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, and the first since 2020-21 without Ibrahima Konaté, all of whom departed on the expiry of their contracts — while Andoni Iraola has taken over as head coach following Arne Slot’s departure.
Alexander Isak has stepped into the central striking role and leads the club’s scoring charts this season, while the squad continues to adjust to life under a new coaching setup both on and off the pitch.
Extra financial backing, even in a minority-stake form, gives FSG more firepower for future transfer windows without needing to lean solely on player-trading income.
