Everton’s sale to Miami-based investment firm 777 Capital Partners is at risk of collapsing after it emerged that major lenders at the club are not in favour of the deal — and could call in loans worth £350million.
Mail Sport has learnt that loans from MSP Sports Capital and mysterious media company Image & Media Rights contain ‘change of control clauses’.
These allow the lenders to call in the loans if they don’t approve of the new owners.
Sources close to MSP have indicated they do not approve of 777 Capital Partners and would consider calling in their loans.
