Everton has been placed on the market once again, with current owner
The Friedkin Group, which also holds ownership of the Italian club Roma, officially completed its takeover of the Merseyside outfit in December 2024. That acquisition brought an end to the eight-year tenure of former owner Farhad Moshiri and followed the high-profile collapse of a proposed buyout by the Miami-based firm 777 Partners. In a formal statement regarding the current situation, the club emphasized that any future discussions would be limited to parties deemed capable of acting as responsible stewards for the organization’s long-term future.
A New Chapter for the Toffees
The club’s statement highlighted the progress made since the December 2024 takeover, noting that the primary objective at the time was to provide financial stability and address significant challenges both on and off the pitch. The Friedkin Group pointed to the completion of the club's new stadium as a key achievement during their tenure, suggesting that the foundation for future growth is now firmly established.
According to the official communication, the decision to explore a sale comes as the group looks to determine the next chapter for the club. The Friedkin Group, which maintains a diverse portfolio spanning the automotive, entertainment, and hospitality sectors, stated that they are committed to finding partners who can build upon the momentum established during their time as custodians. As the club navigates this latest development, the focus remains on securing a transition that ensures the continued stability of the founding Premier League member.
