Liverpool’s US owners talk with Indian investors about stake valuing club at $6BN, FT reports
FSG said the talks are exploratory and no deal is agreed as the consortium seeks outside capital to fund a strategic minority investment.
- Fenway Sports Group confirmed Tuesday it is in talks with Indian investors including the Mittal family about a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club valued at more than $6 billion.
- Bhatia, married to a daughter of steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, stepped away Tuesday from his co-ownership of Queens Park Rangers where he was chairman. FSG acquired Liverpool for 300 million pounds in 2010.
- Under FSG and principal owner John Henry, Liverpool ended a 30-year championship wait in 2020 and won another Premier League title last year, tying Manchester United on 20 English league titles.
- FSG's statement to the Financial Times confirms the negotiations are underway, with the $6 billion valuation reflecting Liverpool's standing as one of world soccer's most valuable franchises.
- A minority investment from the Mittal family could provide Liverpool with resources to maintain competitive edge in the Premier League and Champions League, offering Indian investors access to an elite English soccer franchise.
