A consortium led by British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia is in discussions to acquire a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club, according to reports from MyJoyOnline.

The development marks a fresh entry into the ongoing saga surrounding the club's ownership, with Bhatia's group expressing formal interest in a partial buy-in rather than a full takeover.

The news arrives amid a broader acceleration of takeover activity in London and across the UK sports sector, with multiple high-profile deals in advanced stages.

While the Premier League club has not confirmed the talks, the reported interest aligns with growing speculation that the current owners may be open to diluting their stake to fund further infrastructure and squad investments.

Bhatia, known for his investments in media and technology, has previously been linked to sports ventures.

A minority stake would allow the consortium to gain influence without assuming the full operational burden of the club, a structure that has become increasingly common in high-value sports assets.
