Claim holding company now ‘close to buying’ Everton – Have ‘substantially surpassed’ MSP Sports Capital

In a very bold claim on Monday, TuttoMercatoWeb in Italy are saying that 777 Partners are ‘close to buying’ Everton.

The Italian website explain the holding company, who own the likes of Genoa and also have a 70% stake in Vasco da Gama, have ‘intensified contacts’ over recent days to buy the Toffees from Farhad Moshiri.

It’s no secret that Everton are currently in a dire financial state, and that relegation to the Championship could be very bad for them, which is why this would make some sense.

In fact, it’s stated that 777 would now have ‘substantially surpassed’ MSP Sports Capital in the race to acquire the Goodison Park residents, and ‘would be close’ to acquiring them.

That’s all they are willing to give us for now, and it’s just the one claim for now, but considering they are a holding company with ties in Italy, it wouldn’t be surprising to see someone like TuttoMercatoWeb get information like this.

Now, whether Farhad Moshiri would accept their offer to acquire Everton from him remains to be seen, but the website believe 777 are well on their way to doing so.
