The Friedkin Group is exploring the sale of a controlling interest in Everton, the American ownership consortium confirmed in an official statement published on the club’s website on Friday morning.

The announcement marks a striking development given that The Friedkin Group only completed its takeover of the Merseyside club in late 2024, acquiring the majority stake previously held by Farhad Moshiri. The group, led by Dan Friedkin, also owns Italian club AS Roma.

No further details were provided in the initial statement regarding prospective buyers, a timeline, or the valuation being sought for the club. Everton are currently in the process of relocating to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, a project that has defined much of the club’s recent off-field narrative.

The news adds fresh uncertainty to a club that has endured years of financial turbulence, including a points deduction in the 2023-24 Premier League season for breaching financial fair play rules. Supporters will be watching closely for further clarity on who might take over and what direction any new ownership would set for the club.
