777 Partners are open to selling their Belgian club Standard Liege in order to fund their takeover of Everton, according to Sacha Tavolieri.
Writing on his personal X account (19 April), the reliable Belgian journalist reports that the Miami-based investment firm has a “significant need for liquidity” in order to fund their takeover of the Toffees as well as the running costs of their other clubs.
In fact, 777 Partners have already held talks with Bournemouth owner Bill Foley about a deal for Standard Liege, while they have also received an offer for their French Ligue 2 club Red Star FC as they look to raise funds.
777 Partners are desperate to buy Everton
The takeover situation at Goodison Park has been ongoing for months and yet somehow we are seemingly no closer to an end resolution.
777 Partners have failed to prove they have the funds to complete the deal to the satisfaction of the Premier League, but rather than them to turn the deal down they are allowing the situation to drag on leaving the club’s future hanging in the balance.
It’s most certainly having a huge affect on what is happening on the pitch too, with the points deductions due to the club’s financial situation meaning the team is in a relegation battle now, which could see key players sold this summer.
Everton need clarity on the long-term future of the club, and if 777 Partners are being forced to sell their other assets in order to buy then they clearly aren’t sustainable as new owners.
Relegation will only make things even worse and the club is at great risk of completely crumbling. It’s clear this situation needs to be brought to an end, and someone has to take the decision out of Farhad Moshiri’s hands now.
