Everton’s owners The Friedkin Group are exploring a potential sale of the Toffees.
The group said it was looking at investment options including the sale of a controlling interest in the Premier League club, just two years after they bought it for £400 million.
Everton moved its men’s matches to the 52,000-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium last season, with the women’s team now playing at Goodison Park.
It stated: “When TFG became custodians of Everton, the club faced significant financial uncertainty and challenges both on and off the pitch.
“The immediate priority was to provide the stability, investment and support needed to secure the club’s future, including helping to bring the long-promised stadium to completion for its deserving supporters.
“With that foundation now safely in place, the time is right to consider the next chapter for Everton. We will only entertain interest from parties who we strongly believe will be the right stewards to take the club forward and build on the momentum that has been established.
“Throughout this process, TFG’s focus will remain unchanged. We will support the club in all ways necessary to achieve success on the pitch and will continue efforts to make a positive difference in the communities the club serves.
“TFG and the club will not be commenting further while this work is under way.”
