Farhad Moshiri in talks over Everton deal with US businessman Maciek Kaminski

Structure of deal complex but high chance of agreement

ABSENT LEADER: Farhad Moshiri has rarely been seen at Everton matches this year with fans staging protests over his running of the club at the end of last season and again this summer.

Farhad Moshiri is in advanced talks with Maciek Kaminski over a deal which would see the US businessman provide funding for the new stadium and take a stake in the club.

Kaminski, a US real estate magnate, was part of the consortium led by the former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon that held discussions with Moshiri in June. The structure of the deal is complex and and prevailing market conditions have complicated matters but a source close to the negotiations said there was a high chance an agreement would be struck. The percentage of Everton to be bought by Kaminski remains under discussion.
