Everton linked to new takeover bid led by London-based Vatche Manoukian
Consortium reported to have made £4oom bid for clubInterest from multiple suitors follows 777 Partners failure
A consortium led by the London-based businessman Vatche Manoukian has reportedly entered the running to buy Everton after the collapse of 777 Partners’ proposed takeover.
Manoukian, a partner at the tech investment firm IMS Digital Ventures, has made a £400m bid to buy the club alongside investors from the US and the Gulf, according to the Athletic. Interest in Everton from multiple parties comes after the period of exclusivity between the club’s owner, Farhad Moshiri, and 777 Partners, a US investment group, expired on 1 June, with Everton subsequently declaring they would “assess all options for future ownership”.
