Report: The Friedkin Group Takes New Steps Ahead of Everton Takeover
The Friedkin Group is already demonstrating more commitment than Everton's current owners, despite not yet officially taking over.
Everton could soon have new owners as The Friedkin Group has agreed to a takeover of the Merseyside club.
Currently operating AS Roma, Dan Friedkin and his group may be looking to sell the Italian club, according to reports.
Meanwhile, Everton is finalizing the last details of their new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, expected to be ready by 2025.
Despite not officially taking control yet, The Friedkin Group appears to be making moves on Merseyside.
They have offered their support for both Everton and the Bramley-Moore Dock project, signaling their proactive involvement.
Last month, Adam Williams highlighted the potential financial benefits of the new stadium, estimating it could generate between £70 million to £80 million annually.
This would be a significant boost for both the club and the local economy, though these projections assume Everton remains in the Premier League.
With the stadium nearing completion, The Friedkin Group has stepped in to ensure the project is fully funded.
According to the Liverpool Echo, even before officially acquiring the club, they are prepared to cover the remaining costs of the stadium project and any short-term working capital needs, which could amount to tens of millions of pounds.
Who exactly are The Friedkin Group?
Dan Friedkin serves as the chairman and CEO of the group.
In 2020, they acquired AS Roma for £465 million, initially hiring Paulo Fonseca as manager before replacing him with José Mourinho.
Their vision is to place Everton alongside Roma in a multi-club ownership model, potentially giving the Toffees access to top players and talents.
This move could mark a new era for Everton, both financially and competitively, as they aim to rise to the top under the leadership of The Friedkin Group.
