Friedkins offer Roma update after Everton takeover agreement

The Friedkin Group, who own a 95.97% stake in the Giallorossi, have agreed a deal to purchase controlling shares in Everton.

The owners have insisted that the new deal will have no impact on the day-to-day running of either club, and claims that the new partnership with Everton will only come to help the Giallorossi in the near future.

“We remain active investors in the sports industry. We love the beautiful game. The potential addition of Everton to our portfolio does not alter our focus on AS Roma. If anything, the multi-club symbiosis will only help Roma,” the Friedkins wrote in a statement.

They continued: “Each club in our portfolio operates independently and AS Roma remains at the heart of our football ambitions. Rest assured, our commitment of time, resources, and energy will not be diminished. Our goal is clear – to see AS Roma consistently compete at the highest levels of European football.

“To our incredible fans, we acknowledge the immense responsibility we bear in leading this historic club. Your unwavering loyalty fuels us as we continue building for the future.

“We value your voices and want you to know — we hear you. You are the soul of this club, and we are determined to make you proud.”
