Liverpool FC has entered negotiations with an investment consortium led by British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia to explore the possibility of purchasing a minority stake in the English club.

Fenway Sports Group, the owner of Liverpool, confirmed it had received an offer from the consortium, stating that talks are still in the early stages and no final agreement has been reached yet.

According to the Financial Times, the potential deal could raise Liverpool's market value to more than $6 billion if completed. Bhatia, 46, heads an investment consortium and is the son-in-law of Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, one of the most prominent names in the global steel industry.

In a notable move, Bhatia announced his resignation as a board member and co-owner of Queens Park Rangers, after 18 seasons with the London club, confirming that his stake will be transferred to majority owner Ruben Gnanalingam.

These moves come as part of a plan to financially support Liverpool and boost its ability to remain competitive, after Fenway previously sold a minority stake in the club in 2023 to Dynasty Global Sports Investments, in a deal valued at between $100 million and $200 million.
