In related news, Everton has reached an agreement with the Friedkin Group from Texas concerning the purchase of the struggling Premier League club.
The team’s lengthy takeover saga appears to be nearing resolution after they confirmed a joint statement, expressing eagerness to provide stability to Everton and to share their vision for the club’s future. Currently, Everton sits in 19th place in the league.
The Friedkin Group, led by Dan Friedkin and his son Ryan, is an investment consortium involved in automotive, entertainment, hospitality, and sports, including ownership of the Italian soccer team Roma. The group has a history of distributing Toyotas in Texas.
In June, an initial agreement was reached to buy a 94% stake from the club’s majority owner Farhad Moshiri, but negotiations stalled a month later. Since then, discussions with American businessman John Textor have also taken place, who announced earlier this month that he had an exclusivity agreement with the club due to end on November 30.
A previous takeover attempt by 777 Partners fell through as Everton looked for both a buyer and significant investments. Now, however, Everton and the Friedkin Group have agreed on the sale terms of Moshiri’s stake, though this is still subject to approval from English football authorities.
Everton has been concerned about its financial situation, particularly as it prepares to relocate from Goodison Park to a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Reports suggest that the Friedkin Group is already a creditor, having provided £200 million ($265 million), which could be converted into equity as part of a takeover agreement.
The Friedkins have maintained a low public profile since acquiring Roma and have faced backlash from supporters after the dismissal of the club’s former captain, Daniele De Rossi, as coach.
Historically, Everton is a prominent English club, but it has not claimed a major trophy since 1995 and has faced relegation threats, narrowly avoiding it during the last season.
