Real estate tycoon Maciek Kaminski remains interested in a takeover of Everton although no deal is thought to be imminent, the ECHO understands.
The US businessman was part of a consortium that explored a deal for the club in the summer, a process that eventually concluded with majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri publicly stating the Blues were not for sale. Almost three months on, Mr Kaminski's interest in Everton remains. This is despite investment chief John Thornton and former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon no longer being involved. Mr Thornton was said to have been part of the group investigating a potential takeover in the summer, with the bid then being fronted by Mr Kenyon.
While Mr Kaminski retains an interest in Everton, sources close to both sides said no deal had been done and played down reports that one was close to being confirmed at this stage.
