Former Everton Chief Weighs In
Keith Wyness, the former chief executive of Everton, has disclosed that Dan Friedkin is considering selling a stake of “around 30%” in AS Roma. This revelation comes as part of Wyness’s insights on the latest episode of the Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast.
What’s Brewing in Roma?
Wyness, who previously held the CEO position at Goodison Park from 2004 to 2009, suggests that this move could signal Friedkin’s intention to focus more on Everton in the long run. The American billionaire acquired AS Roma in 2020 but has faced criticism from fans, particularly after the controversial dismissal of beloved manager Daniele De Rossi.
A Battle for Roma?
Reports earlier this year indicated a bidding war between the Saudi Sovereign Investment Fund (PIF) and investor Turki Alalshikh for the purchase of AS Roma. Wyness hinted that Friedkin’s fluctuating interest in the club over the past 18 months might be tied to this ongoing situation.
Everton’s Future in the Spotlight
Currently, Everton is in the midst of a takeover, with Friedkin set to acquire Farhad Moshiri’s substantial stake in the club. Wyness expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of Friedkin prioritising Everton, stating, “That could mean that Friedkin is looking in the longer term to put his eggs in the Everton basket.” This potential shift could have significant implications for both clubs moving forward.
Everton’s Response to Player Movements
In related news, Everton has also responded to a star player’s plans to join a new club, adding another layer of intrigue to the club’s future as it navigates these changes.
