Everton news & talking points: TFG sale claim, Blackburn and international break

Everton entered the international break following a 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town, extending their unbeaten run to seven matches in all competitions. Broadcaster Elton Welsby claimed that The Friedkin Group (TFG) has alerted prospective buyers about a potential sale of the club, though this remains unconfirmed. Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness estimated the club's valuation could settle between £800 million and £1 billion.

In other news, Everton is in talks with Blackburn Rovers to arrange a behind-closed-doors friendly during the international break to provide match minutes for squad members. Additionally, nine Everton players have been called up for international duty, including Jordan Pickford, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Jake O'Brien.
