Everton owners consider selling club two years after takeover

Everton owners The Friedkin Group are contemplating the sale of the club less than two years since assuming control. The American group acquired Everton in 2024 in a deal worth over £400 million. In a statement, TFG stated that after focusing on stability, investment, and the opening of Everton's new stadium last year, it is now time to consider the next chapter for the club.

TFG has expressed that it is exploring new investment options for Everton Football Club, potentially including the sale of a controlling interest. When TFG took charge of Everton, the club faced substantial financial uncertainty and challenges both on and off the pitch. The primary objective was to provide stability, investment, and support to secure the club's future, including assisting in completing the long-awaited stadium for its supporters.

With this foundation now firmly in place, TFG believes it is the opportune moment to contemplate Everton's future.
