KAM Sports in advanced talks with Everton owner Moshiri: report

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri is in advanced talks with US-based KAM Sports group over funding for the new stadium and take a stake in the club, according to a report.

KAM Sports, owned by US real estate magnate Maciek Kaminski, was among the parties involved in talks about a takeover of the Premier League club earlier this year.

After those discussions ended, Moshiri said the club was not for sale, but that it was "pragmatic to explore all potential investment opportunities".

However, sources claim talks have continued, according to the Financial Times.

The Kaminski family was part of a consortium led by former Manchester United and Chelsea chief Peter Kenyon that was looking to buy the club earlier this year.

British-Iranian billionaire Moshiri has invested hundred of millions of pounds into Everton since taking the helm in 2016, and the club is set to move to a new 53,000-seat stadium at Bramley Moore dock in 2004.

But despite spending about £600 million on new players the owner has presided over a chaotic, turbulent period in Everton’s history that saw the team narrowly avoid relegation from the Premier League last season.

Everton have posted record losses of £372.6m across the past three financial years and Moshiri has rarely been seen at Everton matches this year with fans staging protests over his running of the club.

Everton have won only one of their seven league games this terms - a 1-0 victory at home to West Ham United before the recent international break - drawing four after losing their opening two fixtures.
