AliousEverton owner Farhad Moshiri has reportedly received interest from multiple US investors keen on striking a deal to take over the club, according to sources cited by Football Insider.
In the latest edition of their Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that despite Everton’s recent off-field issues, the Merseyside club remains an “attractive proposition” for many potential buyers.
The previously agreed £500 million takeover by US firm 777 Partners fell through after failing to get over the line last September when they had a deal in place for Moshiri’s 94.1% stake.
Football Insider had first reported last month about new American bidders contacting Moshiri to explore buying the club.
O’Rourke now expects significant interest in Everton over the coming weeks following the collapse of the 777 Partners deal as Moshiri looks to secure a fresh takeover agreement.
It has been a turbulent year for the Toffees amid the doomed ownership transition and breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules, resulting in an 8-point deduction.
However, there are positive signs a resolution could be found, with Crystal Palace shareholder John Textor publicly declaring his intent to purchase Everton.
Though Textor would need to offload his 45% Palace stake first due to ownership rules, former Everton CEO Keith Wyness suggested he could complete an immediate Goodison Park takeover by placing those shares in a “blind trust.”
With Moshiri seemingly open to selling and new US suitors emerging, a potential takeover battle is brewing for the historic but troubled Merseyside club.
