Everton’s takeover talks with the Friedkin Group have collapsed as both parties failed to reach an agreement, despite having agreed to a deal in principle in June.
The Friedkin Group, which also owns Roma, had been granted exclusivity in talks after a previous deal with 777 Partners fell through but both parties have now agreed to explore alternative options.
Despite the breakdown, the Friedkin Group will remain a lender to Everton, having already injected £200 million into the club and paid off a £158 million loan.
Farhad Moshiri, who initially bought a 49.9% share in Everton in 2016, remains the majority owner through Blue Heaven Holdings, controlling a 94% stake.
This development leaves Everton’s future ownership uncertain, as the club continues to seek financial stability and new investment.
