Wishing to sell his shares to Crystal Palace, John Textor is awaiting an offer. This is good, a group of investors would have offered a little more than 270 million euros to obtain 45% of the Eagles.
Eagle Football news has been pretty good in recent days. Between the announcement of OL's financial results on November 6, the vast debt reclassification plan and even the IPO in New York for the first quarter of 2025, John Weaver is rather busy. Besides that and the sporting results of theOL and Botafogo, the boss of Eagle Football is also looking to sell his shares to Crystal Palace. It's no secret and it should have served to redeem Everton. The Toffees project fell through, but Textor is still looking for an investor to buy back its 45% in the London club. The American had been rather confident in recent weeks and could well see the end of the tunnel, according to The Daily Mail.
Several offers on the table
Looking for a new shareholder, John Weaver would have received an offer of just over 270 million euros in recent days. It would come from Sportsbank, a group of investors from North America, Canada, Europe and the Gulf. Zechariah Janjua and Navshir Jafferwho are part of the project, are supporters of Crystal Palace and would therefore like to invest in the club that is close to their heart. However, they will have to convince Textor and the other shareholders of the London club, because two other offers have also been received.
