Everton takeover: Friedkin Group in advanced talks for deal
The Friedkin Group are in advanced discussions for a takeover of Everton after resuming talks with Toffees majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.
Chairman Dan Friedkin, who also owns Serie A side Roma, had agreed a deal in principle to purchase current owner Moshiri’s 94% stake in June.
But talks were called off a month later after the two parties failed to finalise an agreement, following Miami-based 777 Partners being unable to a complete a deal earlier this year.
In a complex saga surrounding the takeover, American businessman and Crystal Palace owner John Textor was then granted a period exclusivity in August.
Sources now suggest a deal could be “close” with the Friedkin Group.
The Friedkin Group, Moshiri and Everton declined to comment when approached by BBC Sport.
