Everton are a club in limbo at the moment, when it comes to various areas of their institution.
However, with a kit yet to be announced despite leaks, and their fixture list for the 2024/25 Premier League season only just having been revealed, it feels like this summer is moving in slow motion.
This is no greater exemplified than through their lack of transfer action, which is naturally scuppered by their many financial restrictions and an ongoing takeover.
That being the biggest frustration is justified, but it is one that could well be solved in the coming months, should that proposed takeover go through.
When Dan Friedkin will take over Everton
With Saudi-backed consortiums and a Evertonian-led alternative seemingly set to battle it out for the mantle of new owner, both were seemingly too intent on warding off each other to notice Dan Friedkin sneaking through.
The American, who became owner of AS Roma in 2020, has emerged as the outstanding frontrunner, and is now expected to win the race.
However, that has been well-documented for some time now, and yet we are still yet to see any movement on that front.
Fortunately, courtesy of a report from Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness), an announcement can be expected in the coming days.
The report reads: ‘Dan Friedkin’s potential takeover at Everton will probably take a few more days to sort out before an announcement can be made.’
They then claim that ‘there are final ‘technicalities’ and the ‘very last stages of due diligence’ to overcome before an announcement can be made.
