Everton’s owners, The Friedkin Group (TFG), are open to selling a controlling stake in the club as part of efforts to attract new investment, the Premier League club said on Friday. The announcement comes less than two years after the US-based group acquired Everton from former owner Farhad Moshiri in December 2024, taking control of the club grappling with financial difficulties and a prolonged period of instability. Since then, TFG has overseen Everton’s move into the Hill Dickinson Stadium and worked to improve the club’s financial position.
They said the immediate priority had been to provide the stability, investment and support needed to secure the club’s future, including bringing the stadium to completion. TFG’s decision follows a summer transfer window that, according to British media reports, drew criticism from supporters. Everton generated significant income through player sales but made only limited additions to their squad before the deadline.
TFG, which also owns Italian club AS Roma and French side AS Cannes, said it had retained investment bank Moelis & Company to advise on the process. The group and Everton said they would make no further comment while the process was under way.
