Rumours have again begun surfacing this evening about Farhad Moshiri selling Everton to Maciek Kaminski.
A report from the Financial Times claimed that talks between Moshiri and Kaminski have progressed in recent days, and that Moshiri is in advanced talks to sell his shares in the Goodison Park club for £400m. However, the ECHO understands that talk of a deal being imminent is wide of the mark, although Kaminski's interest in buying Everton remains.
The report from the FT comes just months after Moshiri insisted he is not looking to sell Everton but remains open to 'minority investment' to finance the club’s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock and to strengthen Frank Lampard’s squad. Moshiri, in an open letter to fans back in July, was adamant Everton were not for sale and he is only seeking additional investment into a club that has recorded losses of more than £370m in the past three financial years. But amid the speculation linking Kaminski with Everton, the ECHO has taken a closer look at who the American businessman is.

However, The Times reported back in June that Kaminski set up a business in February, KAM Sports, of which to buy a series of sports outfits and media rights, with Everton at the pinnacle. It is claimed that Kaminski would be the majority shareholder and director, while his son, Mikhail, a registered officer of KAM Sports, which is the investment vehicle for the takeover, would also have a seat on the board.
