Everton fans may be able to get some clarity on the club's ownership situation in the coming days.
Investment groups such as MSP Sports Capital and 777 Partners are said to be in the running to buy the team.
Owner Farhad Moshiri wants to sell the club, but may even take on a minority investor to inject funds into the team.
Per the Liverpool Echo, MSP are seen as the favourites to complete a deal to buy Everton.
However, the process may be in slight limbo, given the club's Premier League status is not known.
If they remain in the league after the last day of the season, the sale could go through very quickly.
Should they go down, the matter may be a little more complicated, as Moshiri may want to hold onto the club and sell for a higher value when they come back to the top flight.
