Friedkin Group says it is exploring sale of a controlling interest in Everton

The Friedkin Group said on Friday it is exploring the sale of a controlling interest in Everton Football Club. A club statement added that new investment options are being examined, including a potential sale.

The group completed its takeover in December 2024, bringing to an end the turbulent era of Farhad Moshiri. “When 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 deserving supporters.”

“The Friedkin Group is exploring new investment options for Everton Football Club, including the potential sale of a controlling interest.”

“With that foundation now safely in place, the time is right to consider the next chapter for Everton. We will only entertain interest from parties who we strongly believe will be the right stewards to take the club forward and build on the momentum that has been established.”

The statement makes clear the group is inviting interest only from prospective investors it deems appropriate to lead the club into its next phase, with that process set out publicly on Friday.
