A consortium including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has advanced talks to purchase a significant minority stake of approximately 30% in Premier League football club Liverpool. The investor group is reportedly led by Amit Bhatia, the son-in-law of Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal.
In response to the developments, Liverpool's main supporters' group, Spirit of Shankly, has demanded clarity regarding the potential acquisition. The fan organization emphasized that the interests of the club and its supporters must remain paramount, pointing to previous activism such as protests against rising ticket prices earlier in April to underscore the importance of fan representation and voice in club matters.
