Dan Friedkin, the owner of AS Roma, is set to sign the deed of purchase for Everton Football Club on Saturday, June 15, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. This development comes after Friedkin reached an agreement in principle with Farhad Moshiri to buy the club for £401million.
Friedkin has been granted exclusivity by Moshiri to finalize the deal, and with an “empty net” to aim at, the takeover is expected to progress quickly. This news brings an end to the prolonged takeover saga that has lasted over nine months, with Everton fans finally having reason to celebrate.
