Everton have been placed on the market by owners The Friedkin Group, less than two years after their takeover.
Everton have been placed on the market by their owners The Friedkin Group less than two years after finalising their takeover of the club. The group acquired Everton in December 2024 when they purchased Farhad Moshiri's 94% stake through Roundhouse Capital.
The Friedkin Group said in a statement that it is 'exploring new investment options for Everton Football Club, including the potential sale of a controlling interest'. When the group became custodians of Everton, the club faced 'significant financial uncertainty and challenges both on and off the pitch'. The group said its immediate priority was to provide stability, investment and support needed to secure the club's future, including helping to bring the long-promised stadium to completion.
The group will only consider relinquishing control if satisfied the new owner is the right individual or consortium to take the team 'to the next level', and plan to continue backing the club and remain on Merseyside until a suitable successor emerges. The Friedkin Group also own Serie A club Roma and Ligue 1 side AS Cannes, and are currently establishing an NHL franchise in Houston through a deal worth approximately £2.65 billion.
