Everton’s owners The Friedkin Group (TFG) likely agreed a deal with Farhad Moshiri around potential compensation owed to Burnley.
The ownership group are currently dealing with an ongoing legal battle as Burnley are suing Everton for £50million, with the case scheduled to begin last week at the International Dispute Resolution Centre in London.
Former Man City financial adviser Stefan Borson exclusively told Football Insider TFG likely kept some of the money back that it paid Moshiri to purchase David Moyes’s side amid the ongoing legal battle with Burnley.

“They likely have kept back some of the consideration that they paid to Moshiri or they specifically valued it as part of the deal and made a deduction for it within the deal.
“I don’t think it really matters to Everton fans, although I’m not sure they take my point on that, but it’s largely a financial matter for the new owners.”
Everton were docked a total of eight points in the 2023-24 campaign following their spending breaches, with top-flight clubs only permitted to make £105m of losses over a rolling three-year period.
