Talks for a consortium that includes billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to buy about a 30% stake in Liverpool are advancing, BBC Sport has been told.
The group is led by British-Indian millionaire businessman Amit Bhatia and also includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.
Owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) confirmed last month that the group had "expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club".
Bhatia is the son-in-law of Indian billionaire businessman Lakshmi Mittal and had been a director and co-owner of Queens Park Rangers for 18 years before relinquishing his stake in the club last month.
American businessman Bezos, founder of e-commerce giant Amazon, is the fourth-richest person in the world.
According to Forbes, the 62-year-old has an estimated net worth of $256bn (£192bn).
FSG, who bought Liverpool in a £300m deal in 2010, previously sold a minority stake in the Anfield side to global sports investment firm Dynasty Equity.
