The Friedkins have decided to invest heavily in soccer.
The Texan owners currently own three clubs: Roma, Everton, and Cannes. Yet, incredibly, something could change in the coming months. The Friedkin Group has decided to put Everton up for sale.
After stabilizing the club since their 2024 purchase and completing the move to their new stadium, the Texans are open to selling the English club. This is surprising news, given that the owners have only recently taken office.
The Friedkin Group has put Roma at the top of its priorities.
The Giallorossi club represents the most significant investment in football, as news coming from England confirms. The owners of the Roman club have opened the door to the complete sale of Everton.
The Friedkins are searching for the right buyer but are willing to sell the club entirely only if a buyer capable of taking it to the next level presents itself.
Confirmation of the news, which emerged this morning in The Athletic, came from Everton, which issued a statement: “The Friedkin Group is evaluating new investment options for Everton Football Club, including the potential sale of a controlling stake. When TFG became Everton’s custodian, the club faced significant financial uncertainty and difficulties 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 complete the long-promised stadium for its deserving fans.” The official statement concludes: “With this foundation now solid, the time has come to reflect on the next chapter for Everton. We will continue to engage with those parties we firmly believe will be the right stewards to take the Club forward and build on the momentum that has been created. Throughout this process, TFG’s focus will remain unchanged. We will support the Club in whatever way necessary to achieve success on the pitch and continue our efforts to make a positive difference in the communities the Club serves. TFG and the Club will not comment further while this work is ongoing.”
