Everton are struggling badly in the Premier League after losing four games in a row, and their takeover issues are not coming to a conclusion either.
Farhad Moshiri is desperate to sell his shares to a wealthy benefactor, but the Toffees have experienced recent disappointments. The 777 Partner deal was terminated, and The Friedkin Group decided to quit despite being given an exclusivity period.
Everton still remain an attractive proposition for investors, with John Textor emerging as a favourite to buy Everton in recent weeks.
According to BBC journalist Giulia Bould, the Friedkin Group have not exited the discussion yet, and they have held preliminary talks recently. They are also the owners of Serie A club AS Roma.
Bould shared on X today (17 September) that she has been informed by a Bloomberg financial expert, David Hellier, who says that talks have been held over the potential Everton takeover.
Everton need to find a solution to their takeover woe
For the past 18 months or more, it has been a rollercoaster journey for the Toffees fans. On the pitch, the club has been fighting every season to stay in the Premier League, and they are badly in need of reinforcement.
The new stadium will be a massive financial boost to the club, but the club need to end the ownership saga.
