The Friedkin Group have agreed a deal to acquire a majority stake in Everton
The Friedkin Group, who also own AS Roma, were close to agreeing a deal to buy Everton a few months ago, only to announce they were pulling out due to concerns over loans which the club had taken up with other investors.
A spokesperson for The Friedkin Group added: "We are pleased to have reached an agreement to become custodians of this iconic football club.
"We are focused on securing the necessary approvals to complete the transaction. We look forward to providing stability to the club, and sharing our vision for its future, including the completion of the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock."
