Everton: Moshiri 'entertaining offers for the club' at Goodison Park | OneFootball

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri would be happy to walk away from Goodison Park and 'sell tomorrow' if the right offer is tabled, journalist Paul Brown has told GiveMeSport.

The Toffees are at serious risk of being relegated from the Premier League after a string of worrying results which has led to Sean Dyche being appointed as the new manager.

Everton takeover news - Farhad Moshiri

According to the Telegraph, Everton have held preliminary talks about selling a minority stake in the club to American investment firm MSP Sports Capital.

The report suggests Moshiri is also holding discussions with several other interested parties as support for the £500million stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock is high on the agenda.

Respected journalist Brown recently told GiveMeSport that MSP Sports Capital's enquiries are genuine after they were seen at an Everton fixture.

Moshiri revealed last month that he is close to a deal with a minority investor to help finance their new stadium.

But it seems the British-Iranian businessman could also be willing to walk away from Merseyside as it has emerged the Toffees have been put up for sale, with offers worth upwards of £500million being considered.

What has Paul Brown said about Moshiri?

Brown understands Moshiri would be open to sanctioning an Everton takeover if an attractive offer is lodged.

The journalist is aware that the 67-year-old has been open to proposals from suitors for a lengthy period of time.

Brown told GiveMeSport: "If Moshiri got the right offer, he would sell tomorrow.

"It's quite clear he's been entertaining offers for the club for months now, despite claiming that it's not for sale."

How long has Moshiri been in charge at Everton?

According to The Observer, Moshiri acquired a 49.9 per cent stake in Everton in February 2016, with chairman Bill Kenwright suggesting he had found the 'perfect partner'.

He then became the Toffees' majority shareholder when he purchased another 18.7 per cent of the club's shares more than two years later.

Moshiri increased his investment to 94.1 per cent after purchasing another 33,333 shares just over 12 months ago.

However, Everton fans were left seething when there were no incomings during the January transfer window despite selling Anthony Gordon to Newcastle United for £45million.

The Toffees' inactivity resulted in angry protesters descending on their Finch Farm training base on deadline day.

It came after Moshiri had promised that a striker would be signed before the transfer window slammed shut on Tuesday.
