Everton agree takeover deal with Friedkin Group – reports
The Premier League club’s proposed takeover by US investment group 777 Partners fell through last month.
Everton have reached an agreement in principle with The Friedkin Group for a takeover of the Premier League club, according to reports.
The group’s chairman Dan Friedkin has an estimated net worth of £4.81billion and has owned Roma since 2020, when he paid £552million for the Serie A side.
Friedkin is said to have been in talks with Everton’s current owner Farhad Moshiri with a view to buying his 94 per cent stake and is expected to be given a period of exclusivity.
The proposed takeover by troubled US investment group 777 Partners fell through last month but Moshiri could not look at other options until June 1 for exclusivity reasons.
