Everton finally ‘reach takeover agreement’ with The Friedkin Group, after the Roma owners reignited their interest following a breakdown in talks
The Freidkin Group has reached an agreement with Everton that will see Roma’s owners acquire a majority stake in the Merseyside club.
Although the deal still needs to be approved by regulators and the Premier League and the Football Association must give the green light, it is understood that The Friedkin Group, led by American businessman Dan Freidkin, will become the new owner of the Merseyside club.
“Blue Heaven Holdings and The Friedkin Group confirm that they have reached agreement on the terms of the sale of Blue Heaven Holdings’ majority stake in Everton Football Club,” Everton wrote in a statement on the club’s website.
‘The transaction is subject to approval from regulatory authorities, including the Premier League, the Football Association and the Financial Conduct Authority.’
A spokesman for The Friedkin Group said: “We are pleased to have reached an agreement to become the guardians of this iconic football club.
“We are focused on obtaining the necessary approvals to complete the transaction.
‘We look forward to providing stability to the club and sharing our vision for the future, including the completion of the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.’
