According to a source, Farhad Moshiri, the current owner of Everton, has started looking for new buyers for his 94 percent stake in Everton. Earlier, the Iranian-British businessman was in active negotiations with the 777 Partners investment fund, but the deal failed to be finalized by May 31.

Dan Friedkin is still superficially interested in buying the Merseyside club. Michael Dell, chairman of Dell Technologies, Kenneth King of the investment firm A-Cap, and Everton co-owner John Textor are also interested in buying Everton.
