In fact, in recent days the Giallorossi president presented an offer to Farhad Moshiri, the Iranian businessman, for the purchase of Everton, Liverpool’s second team, which has been playing in the Premier League since 1954. The official figures are not yet known, but the interest is. Exactly like the offer, which arrived on the table of the owner of the Anglo-Saxon club together with five other expressions of interest.

The Friedkin Group, therefore, wants to expand into the world of international football, following in the footsteps of what other groups are already doing. The objective is to create a galaxy of clubs that can be part of Roma (the current family jewel in the world of sport) and that also create important synergies with it. Not only at the level of exchange of players, valorization, but also of market and commercial strategies. In fact, the offer presented by Dan Friedkin to Moshiri does not in any case foresee a possible disengagement of the Texan ownership in the Giallorossi club. On the contrary. As CEO Lina Soulokou reiterated about ten days ago, in Sardinia: “We were not born with football, we operate in many different sectors – the words of the Greek manager – But the Friedkin family has always thought about sport and with The purchase of Roma has changed and Cannes has also arrived. It will always be the center of our project, for the city and for the fans. there is not the slightest intention of leaving him, this must be very clear. The objective is to bring Roma to the top of European football.”

And the possible purchase of Everton is part of this project here. The exclusivity period for the possible purchase by 777 Partners (also owner of Genoa) ended on May 31st, however Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor and two local entrepreneurs, Andy Bell, are also in the running for the Toffees and George Downing, who are trying to involve other investors so that Everton can pass into the hands of entrepreneurs from the city of Liverpool. However, the Friedkins are there, they have presented an official offer. And they hope to be able to bring the club home.
