Everton fans are preparing for what could be a huge summer on Merseyside.
There is a considerable amount of work which needs to be done to provide David Moyes a squad worthy of playing in their new stadium.
The Friedkins are ready to financially back Everton when the window does open for business.
Rightfully so following the excellent work that Moyes was able to show at Everton since taking on the role back in January.
Having joined from Leeds United, Angus Kinnear is expecting a busy summer with a lot of work going on behind the scenes at Everton.
But The Friedkin Group will also need to be active in their ownership of AS Roma who are set to undergo major changes of their own.

Ademola Lookman will enjoy The Friedkin Group development away from Everton
It has now been suggested the Friedkins want to hire Gian Piero Gasperini for AS Roma this summer.
Claudio Ranieri is departing the Italian capital despite his successful spell as the Roma manager.

Gasperini will be leaving behind an Atalanta side where he won the Europa League just last year, with Ademola Lookman scoring a hat-trick in the final.
Lookman has been linked with a move to Liverpool following his successful stint in Italy with the Bergamo-based side.

Much like at Everton, Roma are set to see some considerable developments made away from the pitch under the Friedkins.
Dan Friedkin has now signed off on Roma’s new stadium, which is set to completely transform the club and their finances.
With new signings heading for Merseyside, Everton will still rue what could have been with Lookman flourishing for the Italian outfit.
However, any wish of leaving Atalanta this summer may just have eased with Gasperini heading for the exit door.
What Gian Piero Gasperini previously said about Lookman
The pair fell into a public row after Lookman missed a penalty earlier in the season for Atalanta.
Things turned sour after Lookman was forced to respond to Gasperini’s comments which he found ‘deeply disrespectful’.
“Being singled out in the manner I have been not only hurts but feels deeply disrespectful, not least because of the immense hard work and commitment I have always put in each and every day to help bring success to this club and the incredible fans of Bergamo,” he said.
Lookman has enjoyed another stunning campaign which has seen him net 15 times in Serie A alone.
After his 2024/25 season, Lookman was crowned Africa’s Player of the Year with his Europa League heroics championed.
Gasperini has certainly worked his magic at Atalanta, but Lookman is unlikely to be sad to see him depart following their public falling out.
