Everton Football Club is now available for purchase by its current owners, The Friedkin Group. This American investment firm stated it is looking into possibilities for new financial backing, which could involve selling a majority share.
The ownership group indicated it will evaluate offers exclusively from those it views as suitable custodians to guide the club's future. The group released a comment saying it is assessing new investment possibilities for the club, which may include selling a majority stake. It added that neither the group nor the club will provide additional statements during this period.
This development follows the group's acquisition of the club, which occurred after it purchased a large majority stake from the previous owner. A statement from the club noted the initial goal was to ensure stability and fund a secure future, which involved managing the move to a new stadium. The statement continued that with this base now established, it is appropriate to evaluate the club's future direction.
The news comes while the senior team holds a position in the upper half of the league table, having not lost a match so far this campaign. The team, managed by David Moyes, has recently won two consecutive matches.
The club's announcement stressed that the owners' dedication will not waver throughout this period, promising to back the team fully to reach its sporting objectives. Potential new owners will be assessed on their promise to continue the present positive trajectory in sporting and community matters.
