Everton are in advanced talks about being sold to 777 Partners LLC.<\/p>\n
There remains caution around the completion of a deal given talks have been ongoing for months. But club owner Farhad Moshiri is growing optimistic that a deal can be finalised.<\/p>\n
Iranian billionaire Moshiri has pumped in over \u00a3700m into the club since he acquired it in 2016. The American group is also now hopeful of a deal. Everton have not commented on the matter.<\/p>\n

They are already invested in a number of football clubs including Italian side Genoa, Sevilla in Spain, German outfit Hertha Berlin and Belgium's Standard Liege.<\/p>\n
But they are not well liked with the fans of the Belgian side holding a demonstration against them recently at their ground.<\/p>\n
Moshiri recently claimed that the club was not for sale but it has been clear in the past two years that it is in dire need of investment.<\/p>\n
Now it appears the Iranian businessman is prepared to let go of control of the club.<\/p>\n
