New York-based investment firm MSP Sports Capital remain in ‘advanced’ talks with Everton owner Farhad Moshiri over a stake in the football club.
Moshiri has been keen to bring on board fresh capital into the business for some months, aiming to sell a portion of his 94 per cent shareholding that he holds in the club through Blue Heaven Holdings Limited.
The Toffees, who announced a £44.7m loss in their most recent financial accounts released last month for the year ending 2021/22, have been in play for outside investment for some time, with Moshiri having discussions around a full takeover that reached a period of exclusivity with a consortium containing former Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon, US real estate tycoon Maciek Kaminski and oil magnate John Thornton last summer.
