After Crystal Palace, John Textor at the helm of Everton? The Athletic reports this Thursday that the Palace shareholder has obtained exclusivity in the Everton takeover negotiations. The American businessman has signed agreements with Farhad Moshiri, current owner of the Toffees.
However, Premier League rules prohibit two clubs in the same division from having the same owner. In May, Textor told the British media outlet: ” We are also looking at other opportunities and we don’t need to leave Palace to get into something. That would be a mistake. » As a reminder, Textor’s Eagle Football company also holds majority stakes in Botafogo (Brazil), RWD Molenbeek (Belgium) and, of course, Olympique Lyonnais.
