FSG Confirms Preliminary Investment Talks With Amit Bhatia Group

The pursuit of a stake in the Premier League side represents a major shift for Amit Bhatia, who stepped down from his formal duties at Queens Park Rangers on July 21, 2026.

FSG Confirms Preliminary Discussions

Fenway Sports Group, which has owned Liverpool since purchasing the club for £300m in October 2010, has verified that they are entertaining the proposal. In a statement provided to the media, the ownership group acknowledged the outreach from the group represented by Bhatia.

“An investment consortium led, managed and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club.”

Discussions are described as being at a preliminary stage, and sources indicate that this approach is similar in nature to the 2023 deal with Dynasty Equity. That previous transaction, valued at between £82m and £164m, was intended to assist with financial capabilities.

Amit Bhatia’s Departure from QPR

Bhatia’s exit from Loftus Road marks the end of an era spanning nearly two decades. In his parting statement, he reflected on the emotional connection he developed with the club and its supporters since he first joined in 2007.

“I step back from my formal responsibilities with pride, gratitude and affection. I want to thank the players, managers, staff, the Community Trust, my fellow board members and, above all, the fans, who have made me and my family feel part of the QPR family for so many years.”

Following his resignation, Bhatia transferred his share of the London-based club to Ruben Gnanalingam.

Financial Context and Valuation

The financial landscape surrounding Liverpool has evolved significantly since FSG’s initial purchase. The club also recently recorded revenues exceeding £700m for the first time in their history.

The Mittal family’s interest in the sporting sector is not limited to this potential deal; they also acquired a majority stake in the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals in May 2026. While the current talks with FSG remain early, they reflect a broader trend of private equity and high-net-worth individuals seeking minority positions in top-tier European football clubs to bolster financial capabilities.

As the situation develops, stakeholders and supporters will be watching to see if these early talks progress into a formal agreement. For now, FSG maintains its control, with the potential investment serving as another tool to sustain the club’s long-term financial position and competitive ambitions.
