Dan Friedkin makes three new demands that provides Everton transfer plans hint ahead of takeover

Dan Friedkin, the American billionaire, is in talks to take over Everton Football Club from Farhad Moshiri. Friedkin, who owns the Friedkin Group, has a proven track record in football, having successfully taken over Italian club AS Roma four years ago. Roma has been competing at the top of the table since Friedkin’s arrival, winning the Europa Conference League in 2021-22 and reaching the Europa League semi-finals last season.Friedkin is reportedly taking a hands-on approach to transfers at Roma, and his plans for the 2024-25 campaign are already underway.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Friedkin recently met with Roma’s CEO, coach, and technical director to discuss how to improve the team. The report suggests that Roma will stop signing loan players, players over 30, and players on high wages, a policy that was implemented last summer when Roma signed Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea.This approach to transfers may be a hint at how Friedkin will approach transfers at Everton. Friedkin wants to bring success to the Toffees, but in a sustainable manner.

This approach is similar to Everton’s current policy, which has seen the club bring in young players like Amadou Onana, James Garner, Dwight McNeil, and Youssef Chermiti in recent years.Everton has also added experience to the team, signing players like Idrissa Gana Gueye and Ashley Young.

However, the club has also used the loan market to bring in players like Conor Coady, Ruben Vinagre, Jack Harrison, and Arnaut Danjuma.Friedkin’s approach to transfers is likely to be shaped by his experience at Roma, where he has prioritized signing young players and building a sustainable team. This approach has paid off for Roma, who have been competing at the top of the table since Friedkin’s arrival.Everton fans will be hoping that Friedkin’s approach will bring similar success to the Toffees.

The club has been struggling in recent years, and Friedkin’s takeover could be the boost that the team needs to get back to the top of the Premier League.Friedkin’s takeover is still pending approval from the Premier League, but it is expected to be completed soon. Once the takeover is complete, Friedkin will be able to start implementing his plans for the club, including his approach to transfers.In the meantime, Everton fans will be watching with interest to see how Friedkin’s approach plays out at Roma. If it is successful, it could be a sign of things to come at Goodison Park.
