Bezos-linked consortium to buy 30% of Liverpool, Football Daily reports

According to The Guardian's Football Daily email, Jeff Bezos is part of a consortium buying around 30% of Liverpool FC. Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin is also reported to be involved. The newsletter notes that these are 'seriously rich men' and that football has become an increasingly popular frontier for American investors.

The email also points to the recent Geopolitics World Cup as a place where wealthy figures were eyeing deals, and suggests Gianni Infantino's approach to negotiations was a questionable example. The tone is skeptical about the growing influence of outside money in the sport.

Elsewhere, readers react to the Football Daily. One Southampton fan, Bob Cushion, says the club is in 'horrid limbo' because of a months-long FA investigation into the manager's admitted role in Spygate, arguing it should have been resolved in weeks. Another reader, David Maddock, responds to Rangers boss Derek McInnes's comment about '15 years of frustration' by pointing to Steven Gerrard's trophy record.

Budgie Wright, meanwhile, jokingly calls for a return of the newsletter's old 'Stop Football' campaign before the 2026-27 Premier League season gets under way. The full item appears in the Football Daily email from The Guardian.
