In a significant development for English football, a consortium that includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is on the verge of clinching a deal to purchase a substantial stake in Liverpool FC, valued at roughly £4.4 billion.

This investor group is spearheaded by Amit Bhatia, the former shareholder of Queens Park Rangers and the son-in-law of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal. The group also features Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.

The transaction underscores the soaring valuation of Liverpool under the ownership of Fenway Sports Group, which bought the club in 2010, reflecting a marked increase during their 16-year tenure.
