The proposed change to Liverpool’s ownership structure could have ramifications for the Anfield boardroom landscape
From QPR and a £336-million business sale to a possible seat at Anfield, the British-Indian investor has built a career across finance, property and football.
British-Indian businessman Amit Bhatia is at the centre of a consortium that is closing in on a potentially major investment in Liverpool, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin among the high-profile names backing the proposed deal.
Who is Amit Bhatia? The British-Indian businessman, former QPR co-owner and son-in-law of steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal is leading a consortium interested in buying a minority stake in Liverpool FC in a deal that could value the Premier League club at more than $6 billion.
