Dan Friedkin’s potential takeover at Everton will probably take a few more days to sort out before an announcement can be made.
That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who say there are final ‘technicalities’ and the ‘very last stages of due diligence’ to overcome before an announcement can be made.
The outline of the deal for the American to buy Everton from Moshiri is in place, though, with him set to buy 45% of the club and 94% of Blue Heaven Holdings Limited.
The total valuation of the purchase should be around €650m, with around €400m of that to cover the debts currently at the club.
Friedkin’s offer is the front runner after Vatche Manoukian pulled out of the race, practically admitting defeat and leaving the path open for the Roma owners.
They’re now pushing ahead and an announcement on that front is expected in the coming days, with a minor delay in proceedings as his team overcome final technicalities in the deal and do their due diligence.
There is no hint that will bring any problems, though, and it’s expected Friedkin will be the new owner at Everton in the near future.
