Everton Owners Open to Selling Premier League Club
The company behind Everton and Roma is considering putting the Premier League club up for sale, just 24 months after taking the reins. This is an unexpected move, given the owners' focus on stability, investment, and the club's new stadium last year.
Everton's American owners, the Friedkin Group, have announced they are considering the sale of the Premier League club. The decision comes just two years after the group took control of the team in a deal worth over £400m.
The Friedkin Group's initial priorities were stability, investment, and the opening of Everton's new stadium last year, before they turned their attention to exploring new investment opportunities, including the possibility of selling a controlling stake.
The group, which also owns Roma and Cannes, has confirmed that it is open to selling the club and is working with investment bank Moelis & Company to handle any sale.
No timeline has been given for the sale, but the owners are optimistic about finding a buyer quickly and potentially finalizing a deal this season.
Why it matters
This development could have significant implications for Everton's future and the Premier League as a whole.
What's next
The club's owners will continue to explore new investment options and work with Moelis & Company to handle any sale.
