The Kaminski family, who are bankrolling a takeover bid for Everton, reportedly want to reach an agreement to buy the Premier League club by July 21.
The Telegraph are reporting that the three-week deadline is because Maciek Kaminski is hoping to introduce himself to boss Frank Lampard as the club's prospective new owner when Everton face MLS side Minnesota United in his hometown of Minneapolis next month.
The report goes on to claim that even if the takeover hasn't gone through due to the Premier League's owners and directors' test, Kaminski still wants to meet the squad even if it is as the confirmed custodian.
