Discussions between Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and 777 Partners are expected to continue after the two parties met for crunch talks in London on Tuesday (7 May), according to Alan Myers.

The Sky Sports journalist reported via X [8 May] that Moshiri and 777 Partners want to seek clarity and a resolution to complete the takeover before the Toffees' final home game of the season against Sheffield United on Saturday 11 May.

Talks have been ongoing since September when 777 Partners registered their initial interest in an Everton takeover, a bid that has stalled ever since, causing uncertainty at Goodison Park.

Myers wrote: "Discussions remain ongoing between Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and representatives of 777 Partners regarding the sale of the club.

"Both sides met in London yesterday and talks are expected to continue over the next few days as Moshiri seeks clarity and a resolution to complete the deal with an outcome expected before the club's final home game of the season against Sheffield United on Saturday."

Will 777 Partners complete the Everton takeover before the Sheffield United clash?

This is exactly the kind of news that Evertonians have been waiting for, though some have lost patience with 777 Partners and are keen to avoid the potential new owners at all costs.

The uncertainty of the takeover has cast a shadow over Goodison Park this season, with most just wanting the whole ordeal to be over with, especially after the club secured their safety in the Premier League for next season.

Despite the chaos surrounding the club, Sean Dyche and his players have done extremely well to stay calm and get the on-pitch job done, leaving Moshiri to finalise the off-field work.

The current majority shareholder has been regularly slammed for his actions throughout the takeover process, but it looks like there might finally be some light at the end of the tunnel.

With more points deductions, administration, and a fire sale of squad players already being mooted, fans want to know that their club is safe as they head towards the end of a long, tiring, arduous campaign.
