Everton's owners, the Friedkin Group, have announced they are exploring new investment options for the club, including the potential sale of a controlling interest. The statement was issued by the group, which is led by American billionaire Dan Friedkin.
When The Friedkin Group, or TFG, became custodians of Everton, the club faced significant financial uncertainty and challenges both on and off the pitch. The immediate priority was to provide the stability, investment and support needed to secure the club's future, including helping to bring the long-promised stadium to completion for its supporters. TFG said that with that foundation now in place, the time is right to consider the next chapter for Everton. It stressed that it will only entertain interest from parties it strongly believes will be the right stewards to take the club forward and build on the momentum established.
TFG said its focus will remain unchanged during the process. It will continue to support the club in all ways necessary to achieve success on the pitch and to make a positive difference in the communities the club serves. TFG and the club will not be commenting further while the work is under way.
The Friedkin Group took over Farhad Moshiri's 94.1% stake in Everton in December 2024. The group also led the move from Goodison Park to the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Last month, manager David Moyes said he had never spoken to Dan Friedkin.
