BREAKING NEWS: 🚨Mega-rich Saudi owners want to sell their Premier League club to takeover Liverpool FC.

Everton Football Club is entering a new phase as Blue Heaven Holdings and The Friedkin Group have come to an agreement to become the club’s new majority owners. Sky Sports reports that The Friedkin Group, which also owns Serie A’s AS Roma, has obtained a majority stake in Everton after nearing a deal several months ago.

Moreover, Everton is not the only club in Merseyside contemplating ownership changes. There have been renewed discussions about potential Saudi investment in Liverpool FC, especially following the LIV Golf and PGA Tour merger, which has fueled speculation regarding Saudi interest in the club.

Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness told Football Insider that for any discussions about a Saudi takeover at Liverpool to progress, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which currently owns Newcastle United, would need to sell the club. Wyness stressed that a Saudi takeover of Liverpool is still quite distant from becoming a reality.

As of July 1, the PIF manages assets valued at $925 billion (£693.1 billion), according to Reuters, and is part of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s strategy to diversify the economy beyond oil.

Regarding Liverpool’s current ownership, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) briefly contemplated selling the club during the 2022/23 season. However, they have confirmed their intention to maintain ownership for the foreseeable future, with the club’s sustainable management ensuring it remains well-run, leaving no immediate urgency for ownership changes.

Concerns also exist regarding potential Saudi investment in Liverpool due to human rights issues in the region, although this remains a topic for further discussion if such speculation continues.
