Kieran Maguire has shared a “fantastic” update on the timeline of completion for the proposed Everton takeover.
The Friedkin Group are expected to obtain Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1 per cent stake in the Blues before the end of 2024, with the current majority shareholder set to walk away empty-handed from Goodison Park.
However, sports finance expert Maguire shared what he has heard about the takeover on The Price of Football podcast [12 December, 30:56], sharing the likelihood of the takeover being completed before the Christmas period.
“I had a long chat with somebody very, very recently, and I’ve spoken to a couple of other parties as well, I think we have a 50/50 chance of the Everton deal being concluded pre-Christmas. Which would be fantastic news for Everton fans.”
