Everton up for sale after U.S. owner says it is exploring investment options

The Friedkin Group, owners of both Roma and Everton, are reportedly open to exploring new investment options for Premier League side Everton, potentially including the sale of a controlling interest. A statement on the club's website confirms the Friedkin Group's willingness to consider a sale, stating, "The Friedkin Group is exploring new investment options for Everton Football Club, including the potential sale of a controlling interest."

Roma and Everton's relationship with the Friedkin Group has evolved, especially in recent months. In September, Everton manager David Moyes admitted to never having spoken to Dan Friedkin, while Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini has praised the owners for their close support at the club. Roma is currently top of the Serie A table, while Everton recently completed a takeover in 2024, acquiring a majority stake in the club.

Gasperini and Friedkin's differing perspectives on their respective clubs' interactions with the Friedkin Group highlight the unique dynamics of their ownership relationships. Roma is set to begin construction on a new stadium, aiming for completion in 2029 to host Euro 2032.
