Everton suffer further takeover setback and face uncertain future as Dan Friedkin deal collapses

Everton s hopes of being rescued by a takeover by Roma owner Dan Friedkin are at an end after the club confirmed the American billionaire has ended his interest in buying the club.

The club have been in a precarious financial position for some time with the club racking up very considerable and rising debts under Farhad Moshiri, which were covered in part by loans from previous interested party 777 Partners.

That takeover bid faltered after 777 ran into troubles of their own, with a deal agreed last September falling apart in May after

That left Everton in need of an alternative, and they have spent the past couple of months talking to Friedkin about the possibility of him buying the Premier League club. His company, The Friedkin Group, reportedly repaid a £1…

Ancelotti confirms Liverpool target ‘will stay’ at Real Madrid as £25m alternative edges closer

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that one of his star players from last season will remain at the club, despite the reported interest from elsewhere.

However, since Courtois has returned to fitness and reclaimed his number one spot, there has been a question mark hanging over Lunin s head.

It s no secret that Liverpool are in the market for a new goalkeeper and 

His contract in Spain is set to …
