Everton owners consider selling club two years after takeover

Everton owners The Friedkin Group (TFG) are considering selling their club just two years after acquiring it. The Americans completed their takeover of the club in 2024 in a deal valued at over £400 million. In a statement, TFG said they had focused on stability, investment, and the completion of Everton's new stadium last year.

Now, they believe it is time to consider the next chapter for Everton. The Friedkin Group took control of the club facing significant financial uncertainty and challenges on and off the pitch. Their initial priority was to provide the necessary stability, investment, and support to secure the club's future, including helping to complete the stadium.

With this foundation now firmly in place, TFG sees the opportunity to explore new investment options for Everton, which could include the potential sale of a controlling interest.
