"It's pretty significant news, not just for Liverpool but for English football.
"The Financial Times is reporting this 'strategic minority stake' would be valued somewhere north of $ 6Billion (£4.5bn).
At that level, it would rival the biggest deals struck for a stake in an English Premier League club, broadly comparable to Man Utd and Chelsea in the last five years.
"I should caution that this deal is not yet done. It's still at a relatively early stage, and it's my understanding there are a number of other participants in the consortium fronted by Mr Bhatia.
"But I would be very surprised if Jeff Bezos did not end up forming part of this deal, and taking a stake in Liverpool when it gets across the line at some point in the coming months.
"This won't be the first minority stake that FSG has sold. A couple of years ago it brought in another US investment firm called Dynasty Equity to buy a relatively small stake.
"This is much larger, potentially 30 per cent, and it will inevitably fuel speculation that in the coming years FSG will look to exit Liverpool.
"FSG are currently saying there are no plans to relinquish Liverpool and it's a minority deal. But if the deal does go ahead, it will raise expectations that, let's say in the next three years, FSG will hand over ownership of the club."
