According to Paul Joyce of The Times, Vici is backed by two wealthy billionaires and has provided proof of funds totaling £1 billion in cash.
Notably, they do not intend to borrow any money to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s 94% shares.Vici’s bid is advised by Keith Harris, a former Everton board member and deputy chairman in 2016.

Unlike some other contenders, Vici has no connection to Saudi families and no controversial background.

While Moshiri has multiple options, the Vici bid stands out due to their commitment to helping the club in the short term.Everton fans should be excited about the potential takeover, as it could bring much-needed investment and stability to the club. With the transfer window opening soon, the Toffees need financial support to make significant signings and improve their squad.In conclusion, the Vici bid offers a promising solution for Everton’s future, and their commitment to short-term funding sets them apart from other contenders.
As the takeover saga unfolds, Everton fans can hope for a positive outcome that will benefit the club and its loyal supporters.
