Everton strike exclusivity deal with MSP Sports – Click Liverpool

Everton have struck an exclusivity deal with investors MSP Sports Capital.

The New York-based group were one of two interested parties that had been in dialogue with majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri over recent months.

Multi-club operators 777 Partners had also been hopeful of securing a deal with the Blues’ supremo, who has been scouring for fresh investment.

But MSP now appear to have won the race to buy in at Goodison Park with developments expected once the club’s Premier League fate is confirmed.

Co-founders Jahm Najafi and Jeff Moorad along with vice-president Peter Taylor were all guests at Everton’s defeat to Southampton in mid-January.

The group, who hold minority shares in several teams including Augsburg and Brondby, are understood to be seeking a 25% stakeholding of the club.
