Friedkin Group explores Everton investment and possible sale

The Friedkin Group is exploring new investment for Everton, including the possible sale of a controlling interest, less than two years after acquiring the Premier League club. The group said it would consider interest only from parties it believes can steward Everton and take the club forward; it has not announced a sale or a buyer. Everton published the group’s statement on October 9, saying the process was under way and that the owners would continue supporting the club during it. The statement said The Friedkin Group and Everton would not comment further while the work continued. Moelis & Company has been retained by the group, according to the club’s statement. The announcement describes a potential sale as one option within a broader search for investment. It does not set out a timetable, identify prospective buyers or confirm that The Friedkin Group has decided to relinquish control. The group’s stated condition is that any interested party must be considered a suitable steward of the club. The Friedkin Group acquired control of Everton from Farhad Moshiri in December 2024.
