Surprising news from England as the Friedkins are rumored to still be in the run for Everton’s takeover.
The American business group have been listed as the closest acquirers of Everton’s majority from current owner Farhad Moshiri.
However, talks between parties seemingly collapsed a few weeks ago due to growing concern regarding Everton’s debt with 777 Partners.
According to Footballinsider247, Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness confirms the Friedkin Group are still thinking of buying the Toffees.
Wyness suggests a renewal in the Friedkin’s interest in the English club as the Roma owners wish to expand their reign to the Premier League.
This time around, however, the Friedkin Group’s stake may not exceed 30%.
“We’ve heard 3 or 4 other offers besides Dan Friedkin’s,” said Wyness.
“I think what could happen, and this is a theory I’ve developed, is that it could turn into a joint business deal, with him included. It would make sense for him, given that with less than 30% he would have no problems with Roma.”
