Everton could be heading for another change of ownership. The Friedkin Group, which took over the English club in December 2024, is exploring new investment opportunities and does not rule out selling a majority stake, the club announced on Friday in an official statement, according to Voetbal International.

Italian outlet Tuttosport reports that the owners of AS Roma are considering giving up control of the English club. Mundo Deportivo says Everton is on the market, while Le Figaro states the American group is considering selling the club.

Sky Sports questions why the owners are putting the club up for sale so quickly, and BBC Sport asks what comes next as the Friedkin Group looks for a way out.
