Forbes has already revealed the true value of Everton as TFG get ready to sell up
Everton could be set to undergo hierarchical change far sooner than many expected.
Having taken over as owners in December 2024, The Friedkin Group (TFG) seemed to be in it for the long haul with Everton.
The Houston-based group have pumped significant funds into the football club, and were key to pushing through the move to Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Criticism hasn't escaped them during their tenureship either, with many unhappy at how this summer's transfer window ended, especially with the proposed sale of Harrison Armstrong.
And in a shock announcement on Friday morning, TFG are now reportedly open to a full sale of Everton.
With this news in mind, Goodison News explores how much TFG could realistically hope to bank from any potential sale of Everton.
Where do Everton rank in Forbes' most valuable clubs list?
One of the most reputable and world-renowned sources of financial information is Forbes.
Whether it's the net worth of celebrities and business moguls or even the values of football clubs, their information is trusted more than most.
This summer saw Forbes publish their list of the world's most valuable football teams for 2026.
It started with Real Madrid as the most valuable at $9.5billion (£7.1bn), and ended with Austin FC in 30th at a value of $855m (£645m).
Everton were in this list too, as the Toffees came in as the 25th most valuable football club in the world at $930m (£702m).
But how does this value compare to the one set by a source with intimate knowledge of the football club?
How much does Paul Quinn value Everton at?
A lifelong Everton supporter and football finance expert, Paul Quinn is one of the most respected sources of information in the Toffees world.
Writing via his own website The Esk on Wednesday, Quinn published a report on Everton's valuation as well as Crystal Palace's.
Quinn estimates that TFG have broken even on paper since becoming Everton owners, with the club having an estimated revenue of between £696-882m.
The Toffees are said to hold an equity number after their £389.4m net debt and the £38m set to be owed to Burnley of between £270-455m.
Overall, Quinn values Everton between £700-880m, with a central estimate of £790m.
Experts seem to have found sweet spot for Everton sale price
To conclude then, Forbes and Quinn have narrowed down what looks to be a realistic price range that TFG can aim for.
Both sources value Everton above £700m, with Quinn putting a ceiling at £880m.
However, with his central figure being £790m, it would seem as though TFG should see a fair market value as being somewhere in the £700millions.
