The Friedkin Group Evaluates Potential Everton Sale After Securing Stadium and Stability

The Friedkin Group (TFG), Everton’s American ownership consortium, is examining the possibility of selling the club shortly after acquiring control.

The consortium finalized its acquisition in 2024, with the transaction valued at more than £400 million.

In an official statement, TFG noted that, having prioritized stability, investment, and the opening of Everton’s new stadium last year, the time is now right “to consider the next chapter”.

“The Friedkin Group is exploring new investment options for Everton Football Club, including the potential sale of a controlling interest,” TFG said.

“When TFG became custodians of Everton, the club faced significant financial uncertainty and challenges both on and off the pitch. The immediate priority was to provide the stability, investment and support needed to secure the club’s future, including helping to bring the long-promised stadium to completion for its deserving supporters.

“With that foundation now safely in place, the time is right to consider the next chapter for Everton.”
