Liverpool Football Club eyes new investors as transfer spending disappoints

A consortium led by Amit Bhatia has approached Facebook co‑founder Eduardo Saverin about purchasing roughly 30% of Liverpool Football Club, valuing the side at around $6 billion. Saverin, whose net worth is estimated at £24.3 billion, would become one of the wealthiest owners in the Premier League, with other potential investors such as Jeff Bezos also mentioned.

The club’s recent £450 million summer transfer spree, which brought in players like Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, failed to deliver the expected results. Liverpool were eliminated in the Champions League round of 16, finished fifth in the Premier League, and saw star forward Mohamed Salah depart. Target signing Yan Diomande chose Paris Saint‑Germain over Liverpool, prompting speculation about interest from Real Madrid.
