Everton explores sale less than a year after Friedkin takeover

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 10:55 · Archive

Everton's U.S. owner the Friedkin Group has announced it is exploring investment options and a potential sale of the club.

Everton is on the market again after the Friedkin Group announced it was exploring investment options and a potential sale less than a year after completing its purchase of the club in December 2024. The Texas-based group's takeover ended the eight-year ownership of Farhad Moshiri and a lengthy saga over the club's future, which had included the collapse of a proposed buyout by Miami-based 777 Partners.

Everton said it would only entertain interest from parties it strongly believes will be right stewards for the club and build on established momentum. The club stated that when the Friedkin Group became custodians, Everton faced significant financial uncertainty and challenges both on and off the pitch. The group's immediate priority was providing stability and investment to secure the club's future and help complete the long-promised new stadium.

Everton said the Friedkin Group's options included the potential sale of a controlling interest. The club stated that with the foundation now safely in place, the time is right to consider the next chapter for Everton. The Friedkin Group also owns Italian football club Roma and has a portfolio of companies in the automotive, entertainment, hospitality, sports and adventure industries.
