Liverpool Football Club could be valued at more than $6 billion as a consortium led by Amit Bhatia explores the purchase of a significant minority stake in the Premier League club, according to a Financial Times report.<\/p>\n

The investor group, which is backed by the Mittal family, is in active discussions with Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), over a potential transaction. <\/p>\n

The report said the consortium has hired advisers to work on the proposed investment.<\/p>\n

If completed, the deal would rank among the highest-valued transactions in football history and reflects the continued global appeal of Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n

People familiar with the discussions told the Financial Times that negotiations remain ongoing and no agreement has yet been reached.<\/p>\n

Fenway Sports Group confirms consortium’s interest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fenway Sports Group confirmed that it has been approached by the consortium led by Bhatia.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn investment consortium led, managed, and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club,\u201d FSG said in a statement to the Financial Times.<\/p>\n

Bhatia declined to comment on the reported discussions.<\/p>\n

According to people familiar with the talks, there is no certainty that a transaction will ultimately be completed.<\/p>\n

Bhatia is the British-Indian co-owner and chairman of Queens Park Rangers. <\/p>\n

He is also the son-in-law of steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal. The Mittal family is also involved in sports through the Rajasthan Royals franchise in the Indian Premier League.<\/p>\n

The report said Bhatia agreed to transfer his Queens Park Rangers’ shareholding in order to avoid holding stake in two clubs. <\/p>\n

Potential deal highlights demand for Premier League assets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A valuation exceeding $6 billion would place Liverpool among the most valuable football clubs globally and underscore the continued demand for investments in English football.<\/p>\n

Fenway Sports Group acquired Liverpool in 2010 and has overseen a period of on-field success during its ownership. <\/p>\n

During that time, the club won two Premier League titles and secured its sixth UEFA Champions League trophy.<\/p>\n

FSG had also explored building a multi-club football ownership model, similar to structures developed by Manchester City’s City Football Group and Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. <\/p>\n

However, the group reportedly abandoned those plans earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The reported minority investment would allow FSG to bring in additional capital while retaining ownership of the club.<\/p>\n

Liverpool joins list of high-value sports franchises<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Liverpool has attracted several prominent investors during FSG’s ownership.<\/p>\n

The ownership group includes investors such as RedBird Capital Partners, LeBron James and Maverick Carter. <\/p>\n

In a previous transaction, US sports investment firm Dynasty Equity reportedly paid up to $200 million for a stake in Liverpool that represented less than 4% of the club.<\/p>\n

The deal would make it one of the biggest ones in English football, following Sir Jim Ratcliffe\u2019s minority stake acquisition in Manchester United, valuing the club at $6.3 billion in 2023. <\/p>\n

Liverpool’s top line increased to more than \u00a3700 million in the 2024-2025 season from \u00a3613 million in the previous year. <\/p>\n

The latest talks suggest investor interest in elite football clubs remains strong despite rising valuations across the sports industry.<\/p>\n

If completed, the transaction would value Liverpool at more than $6 billion, making it one of the largest football club valuations on record.<\/p>\n
