AliousDespite the imminent takeover by billionaire Dan Friedkin, Everton finds themselves under pressure to generate approximately £25 million from player sales before June 30th.
This urgency stems from the need to comply with Premier League regulations and avoid further sanctions.
The Toffees’ Premier League rivals are poised to capitalize on this situation by targeting some of Everton’s prized assets, such as Jarrad Branthwaite, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Amadou Onana.
While Roma owner Friedkin is on the verge of acquiring Everton from Farhad Moshiri, following an agreement reached last week, the club must still secure a profit from player sales before the end of June.
This measure is necessary to prevent another breach of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules, which led to Everton being docked eight points during the previous season.
According to reports from the Mirror, at least one player sale will be required before June 30th to generate the requisite £25 million profit and avoid further sanctions.
Potential suitors have already emerged, with Manchester United submitting a £45 million bid for Branthwaite, while Arsenal has expressed interest in Onana. Newcastle United and Chelsea have both set their sights on Calvert-Lewin, with Newcastle confident they can secure the striker’s services for £25 million.
Everton’s predicament highlights the delicate balance clubs must strike between financial sustainability and on-field success, as they navigate the Premier League’s stringent regulations while striving to retain their top talents.
