The Friedkin Group completed its takeover of Everton from Blue Heaven Holdings, making the Toffees the newest Premier League club with an American majority owner.
Back in Sept. 2024, The Friedkin Group announced its plan to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s majority stake in Everton. Led by American businessman Dan Friedkin, The Friedkin Group already owns Serie A's AS Roma and now is adding a Premier League club to its long list of investments.
The transaction is just one of many taking over the sport. As soccer continues to grow in the United States, more and more American investors, athletes and celebrities are staking their claim in teams across Europe. Unlike Tom Brady's Birmingham City or Rob McElhenney's Wrexham, though, Premier League clubs belong to the most competitive league in Europe.
The Friedkin Group will soon learn what it takes to succeed in England's top-flight, a lesson other Americans have received as owners of Premier League clubs.
