Report: Amit Bhatia-led group buys around 30% of Liverpool as FSG keep day-to-day control

A consortium led by Amit Bhatia is said to have purchased around 30% of Liverpool, with the investment characterised as a long-term partnership. Ben Jacobs has revealed that Fenway Sports Group will continue to run the club’s daily operations despite the new minority holding.

The reporting adds that Liverpool was not seeking external funding due to financial pressure, presenting the stake sale instead as an opportunity aligned with a longer horizon for the club and its new investors. No financial terms or governance specifics are set out in the claims.

If borne out, a stake of roughly 30% would amount to a substantial minority position. In broad terms, such holdings can offer influence without conferring outright control, which is consistent with the suggestion that FSG remains in charge of day-to-day matters. The exact implications for board representation, voting rights or future capital commitments are not detailed in the report.

The framing of the deal as a partnership and the emphasis on continuity in operations point to a scenario in which strategic alignment is valued over immediate change. That could mean little disruption to Liverpool’s existing structures in the near term while providing an additional backer with a long-term view.

As with any ownership development presented through reporting rather than formal club communication, the picture may evolve as more information emerges. For now, the claims indicate a significant shift in the Reds’ shareholder base while keeping the current ownership group in practical control.
