Everton could be ready to agree a £60million deal after official documents have been filed.
The Merseyside giants were previously docked eight points after breaching the profit and sustainability rules (PSR), with Premier League clubs only permitted to make £105million worth of losses over a rolling three-year period.
Companies House submissions in May revealed a new company, EFCW Holdings Company Ltd, has been incorporated and is registered at Goodison Park.
Goodison is set to become the permanent home of Everton Women as the men’s team prepare to make the move into their new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock.
Further Companies House submissions on 8 July point to a separation of interests between the club and subsidiaries linked to Everton Women and Goodison.
The Liverpool Echo reported on 8 July club insiders claim the intention is to handle the greater investment in Everton Women that is expected after the move to Goodison.

However, finance expert Stefan Borson exclusively told Football Insider the decision is likely to be PSR-related, with a sale of the women’s team potentially on the cards.
It comes after Aston Villa completed the last-ditch sale of their women’s team, helping them raise funds to avoid a spending breach before their accounting deadline on 30 June.
Meanwhile, Chelsea sold their women’s team to owners BlueCo last summer for around £200million.

Everton could have already agreed sale
Borson revealed a sale of Everton’s women’s team could be worth £50-60million.
He told Football Insider: “We don’t know the exact timings of it all.
“It looks like they are at least preparing themselves to move assets out of the group for PSR purposes.
“Of course, they will suggest that it’s nothing to do with PSR. They always do. They will say that it’s all strategic, but I suspect it is PSR-related.
“It makes sense because I think Everton clearly do need some additional headroom to be able to compete under the new ownership.
“I think there is a question and there’s been a bit of discussion on social media. I believe that they must have been okay for 2024-25. I cannot believe that the new owners would have taken any chances with their first season’s PSR.
“There are people who believe that they were close and maybe these transactions have already happened, in which case they happened because they were short on 2024-25. We will have to see. All of the details will come out in due course.
“Right now, my best guess really would be that these are deals that will happen for let’s say £50-60million in the current season, the current financial year, and which then give them in PSR terms additional headroom.
“But of course, they don’t work for Uefa purposes if they were to qualify.”
