A second American firm remains interested in investing in Everton but will likely wait until the outcome of two key matters before deciding whether to progress.
Miami-based investment fund 777 Partners have been a name linked with the Toffees for some weeks, with the firm having established a large football portfolio over the past two years, including the likes of Hertha Berlin, Genoa and Vasco da Gama. The ECHO understands talks took place recently between representatives of 777 Partners and Everton owner Farhad Moshiri.
A report in The Athletic on Monday claimed that the group, who also have investments in clubs such as Belgium side Standard Liege, Red Star FC in France and Australian club Melbourne Victory, maintain a ‘serious interest’ in an Everton investment move but are holding back until they know what league the relegation-threatened Blues will be playing in next season and the extent of any punishment that may be handed down in relation to their alleged breaches of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, where the club will appear before an independent committee.
