AS ROMA NEWS – Dan Friedkin also lands in the Premier League. After first ensuring the Rome and then the Cannesthe galaxy of clubs under his control group is also enriched by Evertona historic club that plays in the top English championship.
At the end of one negotiation”fast and transparent“Moshiri considered the Texans’ projectthe most serious and credible“ from the financial point of view and of future commitments: the almost 4 years spent at the helm of Roma have evidently weighed on the Iranian owner’s choice to prefer the Giallorossi buyer over the other suitors for the club. Today Dan, after having reached an agreement with the Everton owner, he must only push the ball into the net with an empty net to close the deal.
Friedkin will take over the majority stake through Blue Heaven Holdings Limited: the remaining 4.6% will be free-floating, held by minor shareholders, and 1.3% will remain in the hands of former president Bill Kenwright’s company. And right around the Everton’s new facility revolves around Friedkin’s project. If in Rome there are still some issues to be resolved regarding the Pietralata stadium, in Liverpool the new facility under construction at the Bramley-Moore pier will be inaugurated in the 2025-26 season and has already been selected for the 2028 European Championship. It is clear as for the Friedkins the stadium ownership constitutes a revenue generator to push the club further, as will also happen in France in Cannes, where the Pierre De Coubertin will be renovated while waiting for the team to move up in category.
What is about to be born, therefore, is one timeshare under the sign of the tycoonwhich spans three nations. However, not everyone in Rome appreciated this move by the Texans and many interpret this move as the signal of a Friedkin’s disengagement from the leadership of the Giallorossi club. An eventuality which, however, was slied several times by CEO Lina Souloukou, who reassured the fans that the Giallorossi club will remain at the center of the Americans’ project. In the last few days the Friedkins, despite being one step away from purchasing Everton, were present in Trigoria to work closely with Ghisolfi and De Rossi to the construction of the new team, a signal that certainly does not go in the direction of a disengagement towards the Capitoline club.
In the Friedkins’ minds the acquisition of Cannes first and then Everton will have positive cascading effects also on Rome itself. Both for commercial agreements, but also for market operations, with the Texans determined to finally build a great Rome with the purchase of elements of weight on the market: from Morata and Chiesaanything is possible now in Dan’s world.
