AliousEverton Football Club has entered a critical phase in its ownership transition, with Farhad Moshiri’s Blue Heaven Holdings now in exclusive talks with the Friedkin Group regarding a potential majority stake acquisition.
The Friedkin Group, already owners of Italian club AS Roma, is eyeing Moshiri’s 94% shareholding in the Merseyside outfit.
This exclusivity period grants Dan Friedkin, the Texan billionaire at the helm of the Friedkin Group, the opportunity to conduct thorough due diligence and evaluate Everton’s financial landscape before finalizing any deal.
In an official statement, Everton confirmed the exclusivity agreement, noting that the club had attracted interest from several respected parties.
The club assured fans that normal operations would continue during this process.
This development brings relief to Everton supporters who have endured prolonged uncertainty since Moshiri initially agreed to sell his stake to 777 Partners last September, a deal that ultimately fell through.
Should purchase terms be agreed upon, Friedkin will need to secure approvals from the Premier League, the Football Association, and the Financial Conduct Authority.
Everton, who finished 15th in the Premier League last season despite an eight-point deduction for financial rule breaches, are set to move to their new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium for the 2025-26 season.
Sources close to Friedkin indicate his willingness to engage with fan groups as negotiations progress, potentially signaling a new era of ownership for the historic club.
