Liverpool valued at $5.9B — below Fenway's $6–7B asking range

A group including Jeff Bezos is near a deal for 30% of Liverpool F.C. at roughly £1.35 billion, valuing the club near $5.9 billion (Reuters, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Aug 10–11). The WSJ reported July 21 that Fenway Sports Group sought $6–7 billion. The gap may reflect negotiation pressure, currency translation, or both. FSG would retain majority control.
