A consortium including K5 Sports, whose principal investor is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has agreed to acquire a minority stake in English club Liverpool. Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool’s owner, said it finalized the sale agreement with the consortium known as 1892 Holdings, according to a report published on August 15, 2026.

The consortium is led by British businessman Amit Bhatia and includes Mittal Family Trust, K5 Sports and EE Capital. Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and Indian industrialist Lakshmi Mittal are also among the new investors. Bhatia will become Liverpool’s new vice chairman and join its board, while Bezos will not sit on the board.

British media reported that nearly one-third of Liverpool’s ownership is changing hands in a deal valued at more than £1.5 billion, putting the club’s total valuation above £5 billion. FSG will retain majority ownership and operational control. FSG President Mike Gordon said the new partners’ vision aligns with the club’s long-term objectives.
