FSG says the deal “supports Liverpool‘s long-term growth ambitions by bringing together experts from across global business, technology, and investment”.
“The consortium partners will work with FSG and the club’s leadership team to evaluate opportunities that enhance the club’s objectives on and off the pitch,” it added.
“FSG continues to retain majority ownership and operational control of Liverpool.”
FSG, which bought Liverpool in a £300m deal in 2010, previously sold a minority stake in the Anfield side to global sports investment firm Dynasty Equity.
Mike Gordon, FSG president, said: “Liverpool has always been built by thinking beyond one season and making decisions with the club’s long-term interests in mind. That approach continues to attract interest from respected investors and business leaders around the world.
“As we considered this opportunity, it became clear that Amit and the consortium shared our long-term philosophy and appreciation for what makes Liverpool special.
“Their experience and perspective will complement the strong foundation already in place, and we look forward to working together.”
Bhatia said the consortium was “proud to be investing in Liverpool“.
“We have the utmost respect and admiration for FSG as owners and for everything they have achieved at Anfield,” he said.
“To be welcomed as a partner in a club of this stature is a huge privilege. We are making this investment because we believe deeply in Liverpool and its leadership, and we look forward to supporting the club’s continued success for years to come.”
In January, Liverpool became the top-earning Premier League club for the first time, according to analysis from financial firm Deloitte.
The following month the club announced record revenues of £703m for the 2024-25 financial year.
BBC Sport has been told that while FSG was not seeking investment out of financial need, its leadership was attracted by the consortium’s reach across global business, technology and investment, including in India, and across Asia.
