Everton owner Farhad Moshiri is ready to sell the club, according to talkSPORT.
The British-Iranian billionaire became Everton’s largest shareholder in February 2016 but fell out of love with fans.

And he could be out in Goodison Park too
Having overseen six permanent managers (and three interim managers), Everton lacked stability during Moshiri’s tenure.
This, coupled with a number of poor signings, saw England’s nine-time champions steadily decline.
The Toffees narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League last season but find themselves in a relegation fight again this season.
Moshiri and the Everton board did not attend the team’s final Premier League game at Goodison Park, a 2-1 loss to relegation rivals Southampton, due to concerns over their safety.
It has been suggested that Moshiri had recently sought outside investment. However, talkSPORT understands Moshiri is now willing to sever ties with the club altogether, with The Guardian reporting that he is seeking offers in excess of £500million.
Everton’s next Premier League clash will see them take on Arsenal on Saturday February 4, a game you can listen to live and exclusively on talkSPORT.
