Everton owners speak out on 'next chapter' as they explore full sale of club

  • The Friedkin Group has announced it is exploring new investment options for Everton Football Club, including the potential sale of its controlling interest, less than two years after acquiring the club.
  • The group secured Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1 per cent stake in December 2024, successfully overseeing the club’s transition from Goodison Park to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium ahead of the 2025-26 season.
  • In an official statement, the owners emphasised that they will only consider offers from prospective buyers who demonstrate the ability to be suitable stewards to build on the established momentum.
  • The announcement comes amid a strong start to the Premier League campaign under manager David Moyes, with Everton remaining unbeaten in their opening five matches to sit seventh in the top flight.
  • Everton are scheduled to face Hull City this weekend before navigating upcoming league fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal, alongside a Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle.
