It’s no secret that John Textor wants to buy Everton. In negotiations with Farhad Moshiri, the current owner of the Liverpool club for several months, the American businessman must first sell his shares to Crystal Palace (45%) to comply with the rules of the Premier League. Except that a turnaround cannot be ruled out in this case.
At the beginning of the week, Bloomberg claimed that Dan Friedkin, majority shareholder of AS Roma and AS Cannes, had returned to the charge to acquire the heavily indebted Liverpool club. Progress indicates this morning that pessimism now reigns around the acquisition of Everton by Textor, according to English sources. This could change the plans of Eagle Football, before its IPO on Wall Street (New York). Without this acquisition, it will be difficult to reach the two billion euros that Textor wants and to attract new investors. In the long term, this will possibly have repercussions on Olympique Lyonnais.
