Liverpool Football Club could be valued at more than $6 billion as its owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), engage in discussions with an investment consortium led by British-Indian co-owner of Queens Park Rangers, Amit Bhatia. The Financial Times reported that the consortium, reportedly backed by the Mittal family, is in talks to purchase a significant minority stake in the Merseyside club.
FSG, which acquired Liverpool in 2010, had previously considered expanding into a multi-club model but abandoned those plans earlier this year. The group confirmed the interest from Bhatia's consortium, stating that it "has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club."
Under FSG's ownership, Liverpool has achieved significant success, including winning the Premier League twice and securing a sixth Champions League title. The club is set to be managed by Andoni Iraola in the upcoming season. FSG's existing investors include RedBird Capital Partners, LeBron James, and Maverick Carter. Earlier this month, FSG's chief of football, Michael Edwards, departed the organization.
