Friedkin Group save Everton millions already as decision made at Goodison Park
Everton could be about to save millions in the transfer window as Fabrizio Romano drops an update about The Friedkin Group (TFG).
Dan Friedkin finally ended Farhad Moshiri’s reign at the Merseyside outfit after completing the takeover in December.
The Toffees are set to usher in a new era with their move to Bramley-Moore Dock for the start of next season.
With the Americans taking charge of the Blues, the Goodison faithful are hopeful of a change in their fortunes.
TFG’s recent decision will already be seen as a sign of things to come at the Merseyside outfit after years of mismanagement under Moshiri.
The Friedkin Group look at Vitalii Mykolenko Everton contract extension
Vitalii Mykolenko is in talks with the Toffees to extend his contract, and discussions are ongoing with the 25-year-old, according to Fabrizio Romano (4 January).
The left-back’s current deal at Goodison expires in the summer of 2026, and the Friedkins are looking to keep a hold of him for the foreseeable future.
Sean Dyche has heavily relied on the Ukraine international over the last few years, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see top teams vying for his signature in the coming future.
TFG will ensure that Everton retain the 25-year-old’s value and potentially not lose him for free if they can agree on new terms with the defender.
The Toffees signed Mykolenko from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2022, and he’s developed into a fine talent.
Moshiri let Michael Keane, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dominic Calvert-Lewin enter the final year of their contracts, but it seems that the new American owners have learned from the previous regime’s errors.
It is shrewd management from those high up, and it could potentially save the club multiple-millions down the line.
