It was announced earlier this month that The Friedkin Group are open to offloading their shares at the Merseyside club, less than two years since becoming majority owners.
In the summer, Dan Friedkin and co faced major criticism from Evertonians for a failure to invest in the club, despite the fact several major sales were agreed.
As a result, David Moyes was left with a threadbare squad, while Friedkin is yet to personally attend an Everton game and is facing accusations that he's only interested in developing TFG's other club, Roma.
There have been a few rumours linking potential buyers with Everton, with Alan Nixon reporting on Sunday that the Dell Family is considering a potential deal to buy the Blues from TFG.

There aren't any concrete rumours about who could look a buying Everton. However, one name that's bound to keep cropping up with be Amanda Staveley.
After Staveley and her husband, Mehrdad Ghodoussi, sold up their stakes at Newcastle in 2024, it's been clear that they're looking to return to English football club ownership.
Staveley submitted a bid to buy Tottenham just under two years and was recently linked with buying the late David Gold's shares at West Ham United.
She's definitely one to keep an eye on.
