Sources close to Farhad Moshiri are refusing to rule out a potential sale of Everton.
Reports emerged on Wednesday evening that Peter Kenyon was fronting a consortium that included the chief executive of Minneapolis-based Talon Real Estate, Maciek Kaminski, and American businessman John Thornton and it was taking advice from US law firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges along with investment specialist Michael Klein.
The timing of the articles has raised eyebrows given Moshiri, who has invested over half a billion pounds into Everton since he became majority shareholder in 2016, reiterated his commitment to the club in an open letter to fans less than a week ago, while with on the new stadium progressing on schedule, there would potentially be scope to sell the club at a significantly greater price once the riverside venue opens in the 2024/25 season.
