After Botafogo, Crystal Palace, Molenbeek and OL, John Textor has chosen to bet on a new club.
The information comes from the Guardian this weekend: John Textor, the boss of Olympique Lyonnais, is working on the acquisition of a new club, he who, through his holding company, already owns part of the capital of Botafogo (Brazil), Crystal Palace (England) and Molenbeek (Belgium).
It is Everton, another Premier League entity, which is reportedly in the sights of the American businessman, in association with a partner whose identity has not yet been disclosed. A position taken following the withdrawal of the American group Friedkin, which recently withdrew from its takeover process.
The Toffees or QPR
To do this, John Textor would be ready to sacrifice the 45% of shares he holds in the Crystal Palace Eagles – a capital he had acquired for 100 million euros. His desire being to become the majority shareholder of an English club.
Liverpool’s current owner, Iranian Farhad Moshiri, is looking to sell as Everton emerges from a complicated season that ended in 15th place, with an 8-point penalty for breaches of financial fair play rules. John Textor is said to have a plan B in case negotiations fail for the Toffees: Queens Park Rangers, a London club that is playing this season in the Championship, the English second division.
