Liverpool fans demand clarity over reported Bezos-backed investment

Liverpool fans have called for greater clarity from the club's management following reports that a consortium including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is close to acquiring around 30 percent of the club.

The “Spirit of Shankly” supporters' group has sent a letter to Liverpool requesting detailed information about the potential deal and the impact new investors could have on the club's management, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

The consortium is led by Amit Bhatia and also includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.

According to reports, the deal could value Liverpool at around £4.4 billion, while Fenway Sports Group would continue to retain control of the club.

“Spirit of Shankly” stressed that the interests of the club and its supporters must remain a priority, expressing concern that changes in ownership could lead to decisions that would not be welcomed by fans.

Meanwhile, Liverpool has said it is willing to hold talks with supporters' representatives if the investment is formally completed.
