Everton could be the head of a multi-club 'portfolio of sports clubs' if a takeover is completed by a US consortium.
The Toffees are subject of interest from US real estate tycoon Maciek 'MG' Kaminski, chief executive of the Minnesota-based Talon Real Estate, which holds retail, residential and commercial properties across Middle America.
The takeover interest is being led by former Manchester United and Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon, while billionaire mining and investment magnate John Thornton has also been reported to be involved in the consortium previously.
