Wigan Athletic have stated that a deal has been agreed to sell the club, according to the current ownership group.
The Latics will start the 2023-24 season on minus eight points in League One after a punishment from the EFL over failure to pay wages. However, Wigan's current owners said on Sunday that a new buyer has been found. The deal will require EFL approval and no details of the prospective buyer were given.
A club statement said: “A deal has been agreed in principle for the sale of Wigan Athletic Football Club to a prospective new buyer - subject to EFL approval. The prospective new owners have committed to resolving all outstanding liabilities at the earliest opportunity. Further updates on this process will follow in due course.”
