AliousEverton’s transfer strategy appears to be holding steady despite the collapse of takeover talks with The Friedkin Group.
BBC journalist Giulia Bould reports that the club isn’t planning a “fire sale” and their overall transfer plans remain unchanged.
The club expects to make new signings in the coming days, adding to their summer acquisitions of Iliman Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunam.
This comes after Everton announced that negotiations with The Friedkin Group had ended without a deal, marking the second failed takeover attempt in six months.
Notably, Everton is maintaining their £70 million valuation of defender Jarrad Branthwaite, despite interest from clubs like Manchester United. The Toffees have already rejected two bids from United, including a £50 million offer.
While Branthwaite seems likely to stay, midfielder Amadou Onana may be sold to Aston Villa for around £50 million.
Manchester United, having failed to secure Branthwaite, has moved on to other targets, including Leny Yoro from Lille.
In other transfer news, Everton has reportedly reached an agreement with Napoli for Jesper Lindstrom.
The Danish player is expected to join on a season-long loan with an option to buy, looking to revitalize his career after a challenging spell in Italy.
Despite the setback in takeover talks, Everton appears to be actively pursuing their transfer targets while also working to retain key players like Branthwaite.
