Bezos-backed consortium advances talks for Liverpool stake

A consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is in advanced talks to buy about 30% of Liverpool, according to BBC Sport. The broadcaster said the group has stepped up its discussions over a potential minority investment in the Premier League club. The move adds to a wave of international investment in English football.

The reported deal, if completed, would make Bezos a minority owner rather than a controlling shareholder. BBC Sport said the talks are at an advanced stage but cautioned that they could still fall through. Financial terms have not been disclosed.

The involvement of Bezos, one of the world's richest people, adds fresh interest in English football's top flight. Liverpool fans will be watching closely, though the club itself has not commented publicly on the reports. Neither Liverpool nor representatives of the consortium have issued an official statement.
