Everton’s owners are seeking a buyer for the club under two years after securing a controlling stake.
Having completed the acquisition of Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1 per cent share in December 2024, The Friedkin Group managed the move from Goodison Park to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. The group has confirmed it is considering fresh financial avenues, which could include a full sale should suitable custodians emerge.
A statement from the club read: “The Friedkin Group is exploring new investment options for Everton Football Club, including the potential sale of a controlling interest.
“When TFG became custodians of Everton, the club faced significant financial uncertainty and challenges both on and off the pitch.
“The immediate priority was to provide the stability, investment and support needed to secure the club’s future, including helping to bring the long-promised stadium to completion for its deserving supporters.
“With that foundation now safely in place, the time is right to consider the next chapter for Everton. We will only entertain interest from parties who we strongly believe will be the right stewards to take the club forward and build on the momentum that has been established.
“Throughout this process, TFG’s focus will remain unchanged. We will support the club in all ways necessary to achieve success on the pitch and will continue efforts to make a positive difference in the communities the club serves.”
