Everton has finally found it! Up for sale for several months by Farhad Moshiri, owner of the club since 2016, the Toffees finally found a buyer last September. Indeed, American billionaire Dan Friedkin concluded an agreement with Everton last September, thus undermining John Textor, who had long been mentioned to buy the Liverpool club. But the Premier League still had to validate this takeover.
