Reports | Farhad Moshiri holds talks with consortium over potential Everton takeover bid

However, Sky Sports has now reported that the Goodison Park side could be sold as majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri has held meetings with a consortium over a takeover bid. The report has indicated that Moshiri has been looking at investors but could be convinced to part with the team for a reported £500 million valuation. That includes the club’s debt as well and the report revealed that former Manchester United chief executive Peter Kenyon is a part of the consortium.

But with Everton spending well above their earnings over the last half-decade, questions have been asked as to whether the club has breached financial fair play and thus needs to be docked points. That is reportedly a dealbreaker for the consortium and they are thus waiting to see what the Premier League and English FA decide before making a decision themselves. Furthermore, the Telegraph has reported that talks are still at an early stage although both parties are confident that they can get a deal across the line.
