The negotiation for the sale of Everton to 777 Partners it has definitively passed away. This was announced today in an official statement by the Liverpool club, which will now evaluate all options for the future ownership of the club. The owner of the Toffees, Farhad Moshiri, was linked to an exclusive agreement with the American investment group (owner of Genoa) until May 31st but the agreement signed with Blue Heaven Holdings Limited for the purchase and sale of the majority share of the club is now expired.
“Everton Football Club would like to provide the following update to all interested parties, and in particular its supporters,” the statement read. “The agreement between 777 Partners and Blue Heaven Holdings Limited for the sale and purchase of a majority interest in the Club expired today. The Club’s Board of Directors recognizes the significant level of financial support that 777 Partners has provided to the Club over the last few months and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for this.
The Club will continue to operate as usual while working with Blue Heaven Holdings to evaluate all options for future ownership. The Board of Directors would like to thank everyone associated with Everton for their patience over recent months and reiterate its commitment to providing further updates when it is appropriate to do so via the Club’s official communications channels.”
Moshiri confirmed last week that John Textor is interested, but would first have to sell his shares in Crystal Palace (40%).
