🚨GOOD NEWS :Everton Takeover Prospects Rekindled as British Investment Firm Expresses Interest

admin

Everton’s ongoing ownership saga is set to take another twist.

   Despite avoiding relegation again last season under Sean Dyche, the Toffees’ situation behind the scenes has been the subject of much speculation this summer.

   American firm 777 partners initially appeared to be the frontrunners to buy Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% stake in the Merseyside club before talks collapsed after they failed to meet an already extended deadline last month.


   Next up was Dan Friedkin, owner and CEO of The Friedkin Group.

   The American also owns Serie A side Roma and entered into a period of exclusivity with Moshiri before talks broke down with the club saying they would “explore alternative options”.

   The precarious financial situation has led to fears that the club could be thrown into administration, but according to a report from The Sun, a potential takeover is back on the cards.

   London-based private equity group Vici Private Finance has been linked with buying the club in the past, but is now said to be re-entering the race.

   Vici’s interest could prove to be a huge boost for Everton, with the group being advised by former Toffees board member Keith Harris and backed by at least two billionaires.

   Harris has experience assisting in football club takeovers, having played a role in Roman Abramovich’s purchase of Chelsea, Randy Lerner’s purchase of Aston Villa and Shahid Khan’s purchase of Fulham.

   Despite the uncertain nature of the club’s ownership, Dyche has begun to improve the team that finished 15th in the Premier League last season.

   Former Sheffield United midfielder Iliman Ndiaye arrived from Marseille in a deal believed to be worth £15m, while 21-year-old prospect Tim Iroegbunam joined from Aston Villa.
