It's been revealed that the Amit Bhatia-led consortium which has recently invested in Liverpool Football Club purchased a significantly larger stake than initially reported.
The Merseyside club confirmed last Friday that current owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) had sold a minority stake to 1892 Holdings, with The Athletic reporting that sources with knowledge of the transaction estimated the purchase to have been approximately 30%.
However, the same outlet has now indicated that the consortium – which also includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin – has actually bought a much larger share in LFC.
On Tuesday lunchtime, The Athletic reported that FSG sold 38% of Liverpool FC to 1892 Holdings, as confirmed to the publication by sources with knowledge of the deal, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Initial suggestions on both sides of the transaction had initially indicated that the stake purchased was closer to the 30%-33.3% bracket.
