A consortium that are trying to win over Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is aiming to invest in Liverpool.FSG bought the Reds for £300m in 2010, but the club’s valuation has since skyrocketed, attracting many potential investors.Fans think Liverpool could be taken over completely, with Amit Bhatia’s group now aiming to buy 30% of the clubAt present, Bezos is not part of the consortium, but perhaps LeBron James may convince him to join, given the pair already appear to be close friends. How happy would you be if FSG sell Liverpool? 💰 Credit: James Baylis/AMA/Getty Images LeBron James and Jeff Bezos have been on holiday togetherLeBron became a minority stakeholder in Liverpool back in 2011, paying £4.7m for 2% of the Merseyside outfit.That feels like quite the bargain in 2026, given that the Premier League giants are now being valued closer to £6bn amid a potential investment in the club.Bezos, one of the richest men on the planet, joining the group eyeing up Liverpool would certainly go a long way to helping fund the 30% investment.And perhaps LeBron will speak to the Amazon founder at some point about the deal, given they have already been spotted on holiday together.In July of 2025, the duo were seen on holiday in Cannes, with the NBA legend shown rapping to Kendrick Lamar’s song ‘Not Like Us’.Bezos was with his wife at the time, who was dancing to the song while the Amazon owner opted to film the moment.What has LeBron James said about Liverpool?If Bhatia is really keen for Bezos to get involved in buying part of Liverpool, he should probably be reaching out to James to help persuade the billionaire to become part of his team.LeBron clearly has a huge love for the club, as was made clear by his comments from back in 2021.He said: “Nine years ago, I went to my first game at Anfield.
I’ll never forget the feeling of walking through the Shankly Gates, the atmosphere and the fans. It was an adrenaline rush and one of the greatest experiences I’ve had watching sports.“Liverpool FC is admired across the world, and I’ve learned firsthand that it’s the people who make the community special.“Family and community are truly at the heart of everything they do.
No matter where they are.”Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
