Despite this uncertainty, Everton are borrowing funds from 777 Partners for their new stadium, hinting at confidence in the takeover’s completion. With Everton battling relegation, the club’s future in the Premier League is precarious, especially with a second financial fair play verdict pending that could exacerbate their plight.

Everton’s Relegation Battle Tightens

The team’s focus is not only on staying afloat this season but also on strengthening the squad in the summer, eyeing potential reinforcements.

Genoa’s Koni De Winter Linked with Everton

Genoa, owned by 777 Partners like Everton, is close to signing Koni De Winter permanently from Juventus. The Belgian defender’s performance has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs, including Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers. De Winter’s potential move could be facilitated by the 777 connection, offering Everton a valuable addition to their defense.

With Wolves comfortably positioned in the Premier League, they are looking to bolster their squad depth. Leeds United, among others, have shown interest in De Winter, making the race for his signature increasingly competitive.

Wolves Plan Ahead with Transfer Targets

Aside from De Winter, Wolves have set their sights on several other players, including Southampton’s Che Adams and Athletic Club’s Alex Berenguer. With Pedro Neto’s future uncertain amid interest from top clubs, Wolves are proactive in their transfer planning to ensure a strong squad for the next season.

West Ham United Enters the Fray for De Winter

West Ham United has expressed interest in Koni De Winter, exploring the possibility of a deal. However, with De Winter set to make his move to Genoa permanent, the Hammers’ chances seem slim.
