Liverpool's $5.9B valuation falls short of Fenway's $6–7B asking range

A consortium including Jeff Bezos is nearing a deal for a 30% stake in Liverpool F.C. at ~£1.35 billion, valuing the club near $5.9 billion, per Reuters, Al Jazeera, and The Guardian (Aug 10–11). On July 21, the WSJ reported Fenway Sports Group sought $6–7 billion. The gap likely reflects negotiation compression, currency translation, or both. FSG would retain majority control.
