AliousRecent reports suggest John Textor has entered into an exclusivity agreement with Farhad Moshiri to purchase Everton Football Club.
This development follows Textor’s earlier expressed interest in acquiring the club.Previously, Dan Friedkin’s Group had reached a similar agreement, but they withdrew in July due to concerns about the club’s debt situation.
This came after the collapse of 777 Partners’ attempted takeover in June.
Despite the ongoing chaos, multiple parties have remained interested in buying Everton.
Textor, having apparently resubmitted his previous bid, has now secured an exclusivity period.This constant back-and-forth between various billionaires and investment groups has left Everton fans in a state of anxiety.
Supporters are eager for a quick resolution and new ownership with adequate funds and a solid strategy.
However, a speedy resolution seems unlikely, as Textor would need to divest his 45% stake in Crystal Palace before proceeding – a process that could take considerable time.
Everton’s financial situation remains precarious. While the club has gained some breathing room through a £200 million loan from the Friedkin Group, player sales, and TV/Premier League income, this relief is temporary.
The collapse of Friedkin’s bid likely means no further permanent additions to the squad unless more players are sold before the transfer deadline.
As the new Premier League season begins – Everton’s last at Goodison Park – fans hope for a resolution to this ownership saga before the club’s finances are exhausted.
