Everton could be on the brink of further investment if they win their ‘crucial’ survival fight in the Premier League this weekend.
That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who spoke exclusively to Football Insider about the likelihood of other investors becoming involved with Everton.
As reported by the Daily Mail on Monday (22 May), The Toffees have struck an exclusivity deal with MSP Sports Capital for a minority investment in the club.
Prior to the exclusivity deal, 777 Partners were in talks with the Merseyside club over a potential takeover, with reports suggesting that they valued the club at £600million.
Football Insider sources revealed on Friday (26 May) that Everton could reignite talks with 777 Partners after the exclusivity deal expires from MSP’s £105million deal.
Sean Dyche’s side welcome Bournemouth to Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon knowing a win is enough to retain their top-flight status for the 2023/24 season.
Maguire believes 777 Partners are currently on the ‘periphery’ of an investment deal, but believes there could be ‘renewed interest’ if Everton survive relegation.
“Given that MSP have an exclusivity deal with Everton, 777 Partners are very much on the periphery of any potential investment in the club,” Maguire told Football Insider’s Sean Fisher.
“But as we have seen time and time again in football finance – never say never.
“Members of 777 will be keeping tabs on Everton’s crucial survival fight with a great degree of intrigue and interest.
“Everton’s survival could result in renewed interest.”
