Everton could have the opportunity to use The Friedkin Group’s outside resources to their strengths.
David Moyes will want the transfers to speed up around Everton after a very quiet June.
July hopes to be the month that presents more opportunities for the Toffees, as Thierno Barry will be signed soon.
The striker arriving could be the problem solver Moyes need to a scoring issue, as despite Beto’s best efforts, it appears he will be the number two option.
Another area needs drastic improvements, and The Friedkins have a plan up their sleeve.

Everton put forward £15.5m proposal in potential Friedkins masterclass
It’s come to the surface that Everton are looking at Flamengo’s Wesley Franca.
Right-back is an area that Moyes wants improved and to add the Brazilian would be smart business.
But the way The Friedkins are handling this transfer could prove to be a potential masterclass as the plan is for Franca to be loaned to Roma, who are the owners’ other club in football.

It’s a smart strategy that can be used, and could be continued throughout future transfer windows.
South American journalist Vene Casagrande has reported on this possible ‘idea’ but suggests The Friedkins won’t cough up Flamengo’s asking price.
It’s said that Everton have suggested to Flamengo the possibility of paying £15.5m for Franca despite him being valued at £26m, as after the transfer, the idea would then be on the table to loan him to Roma.
O Everton, da Inglaterra, acenou ao Flamengo a possibilidade de pagar 18 milhões de euros por Wesley, e a ideia seria emprestar para a Roma, clube que tem os mesmos donos do time inglês, como informou a imprensa italiana.

It’s unknown whether this deal would work, but if it did, it would positively reflect on how The Friedkins could plan transfers.
The 21-year-old has looked promising and brings reason why Tottenham also wanted the defender’s signature.

Games played 31
Assists 2
Pass accuracy % 88.6%
Tackles won per 90 2.19
Duels won 203
With Carlos Alcaraz also arriving from the Brazilian outfit, Moyes clearly sees success in working with Flamengo, and could be a trend that develops for the future.
The Toffees got a cut-price deal of £12.6m for Alcaraz, and the hope is that they could now get the same with Franca.
