The Friedkin Group (TFG) has confirmed it is exploring new investment options for Everton, including a potential sale of a controlling stake, less than two years after acquiring the club. TFG released a statement announcing that it has retained Moelis & Company to advise on the process. The owners stated that recent financial stabilization makes it the right time to consider the club's future options.
