Everton is again being considered for sale after its U.S. owner, the Friedkin Group, says it is exploring investment options that could include selling the club or a controlling interest. Multiple outlets report the statement comes less than two years after the group completed its takeover of Everton.

Supporters’ reaction is also highlighted by some coverage, with criticism of Everton’s summer activity and limited signings despite player sales. Other reports frame the move in broader terms, suggesting it could test investor appetite for expensive football assets as valuations rise across the sport. The Friedkin Group also owns Roma, and coverage notes it is looking at “new investment options” rather than committing to a specific deal.
