Friedkin Group Considers Selling Everton's Controlling Stake

The Friedkin Group, chaired by Dan Friedkin, is exploring the sale of a controlling interest in Everton, having purchased 99.5% of the club in 2024 for over £400 million. The group aims to bring stability and investment to Everton, which has faced significant uncertainty.

TFG stated that with a stable foundation established, it is now the right time to consider the club's next phase, emphasizing that they will only entertain buyers who can act as responsible custodians. The announcement comes amid growing tensions between the ownership and fans, particularly after a failed transfer of midfielder Harrison Armstrong and the sale of striker Beto, leaving manager David Moyes with limited options.

Moyes, who returned as manager in January 2025, noted he has not met Friedkin since his return. Day-to-day operations are managed by Rishi Majithia and chief executive Angus Kinnear.

Former Everton goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis expressed surprise at the sale exploration, acknowledging TFG's role in stabilizing the club.
