Everton are up for sale, with the Friedkin Group still on the lookout for buyers.

The Houston-based company announced their plans to sell the Toffees in October, less than two years after buying the Merseyside club.

Dan Friedkin and Co. initially sought additional minority investors, but after failing to locate any, they set out a plan for a full sale of their 94.1 per cent stake.

There have been rumours that the US consortium is seeking anywhere from £800million to £1billion to sell the Blues.

While there is no outstanding candidate right now, TFG have committed to back David Moyes until they locate a new fit and proper owner.

With the international break now here, Goodison News brings you everything we know about Everton's potential takeover.

Everything we know about potential Everton sale

Everything has gone quiet on Everton's potential takeover in the last week.

However, the latest update saw rumours of Kevin Malone's potential return to buy the club shutdown after he battled TFG in 2024.

Michael Dell had been linked with buying Everton, but the fourth-richest man in the world took it upon himself to downplay rumours on social media.

Alisher Usmanov, former associate of Farhad Moshiri, has been linked with potentially getting involved with the Toffees once again.

The Russian-Uzbek businessman injected over £110m into the Toffees over a five-year period, but whether he would have the money to run the Blues on his own has been questioned.

The Daily Mail previously reported that TFG are currently in the process of sounding out "serious" buyers for Everton.

It's said the Friedkins would be delighted to welcome business from US consortiums, but it doesn't appear that there has been any real progress yet.

But one name keeps being linked to Hill Dickinson.

Is there a favourite to buy Everton right now?

Well, Amanda Staveley is continuing to be linked with Everton.

Since leaving Newcastle, she has been keen on making a return to English football, as she made an attempt to buy Tottenham two years ago and tried to purchase shares in West Ham this year.

Talks have reportedly taken place between PCP Capital Partners and the Toffees.

Staveley seems to be the favourite to buy Everton right now, but the truth is that there isn't much to suggest that PCP are currently in advanced talks with TFG.

Let's see if any further updates emerge over the break.
