Liverpool owner FSG in talks to sell minority stake to former QPR co-owner Amit Bhatia

Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group (FSG) confirmed it is in talks about selling a minority stake to Amit Bhatia, a former co-owner of QPR. FSG said it was approached by an investment consortium led, managed and represented by Bhatia for a “strategic minority investment” in Liverpool Football Club, though no deal has been agreed and discussions are early-stage. The update aligns with Bhatia’s departure from the QPR board, ending an 18-year involvement after he transferred his shares to majority owner Ruben Gnanalingam. In 2023, FSG sold a minority stake in Liverpool to investment firm Dynasty, and any future deal with Bhatia would likely follow a similar structure. FSG bought Liverpool in 2010 for £300 million, and Forbes recently valued the club at £4.6 billion. Bhatia, 46, previously served as QPR vice-chairman and later chairman from 2018 to five years.
