Everton takeover news after Dan Friedkin’s purchase collapses.

Everton are back to square one when it comes to a potential takeover.

Football Insider revealed on 15 July the Belgium international has agreed personal terms with Villa as he prepares to make his £50million move to the club.

 

The 22-year-old has been linked with several top clubs in recent months, but it appears as though the West Midlands giants are now set to secure his signature.

Everton had agreed a deal to sign Philogene from Hull City before Football Insider revealed on 15 July Villa had hijacked the transfer for their former academy product.

 

Unai Emery’s side have now confirmed the signing of the 22-year-old in an £18million deal.

Everton could pursue Jaden Philogene deal after previous interest

Wyness believes there is a chance Villa could potentially loan Philogene to Everton as part of the deal for Onana as he looks to gain some Premier League experience.

 

That would come as a big shock considering he has just completed a big-money move to Villa.

He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “I thought Onana was in the £65million range, so £50million was a bit of a surprise for me.

 

“I’ve heard it’s actually up to £55million with add-ons, which softens the blow a little bit.

 

“I’m wondering if there might be an addition here that we might get something like Philogene on loan from Villa.

 

“If that was the case, then having that sort of player, who we have shown a big interest in coming in on loan for a year, that would make sense in terms of the total valuation of the deal altogether.

Toffees supporters must feel it is groundhog day after the latest prospective purchase of the club collapsed. The Friedkin Group have opted to end their pursuit of buying Everton after being granted exclusivity.

It is believed that the American firm, headed by multi-billionaire John Textor, were concerned about the £200 million that 777 Partners provided funded by A-Cap. 777’s takeover had the pull plugged at the end of May after they failed to receive the green light from the Premier League.
