Exclusive: Everton now working on multiple loan signings.

Everton are now set to prioritise loan signings following the collapse of their takeover deal, sources have told Football Insider.

The Friedkin Group pulled out of the deal to buy the Toffees last week (18 July), plunging the club back into uncertainty.

Amadou Onana is closing in on a big-money move to Aston Villa, a sale which had been pre-planned at Everton to alleviate their financial concerns.

Sources say Sean Dyche and Everton transfer chiefs are unlikely to be given much of the proceeds to do business of their own.

It is believed the takeover situation raises serious questions about what the club will be able to do in the remainder of the transfer window.

Everton to prioritise loan deals after takeover collapse

Loan signings are now set to be prioritised by the transfer team at Goodison Park with Premier League survival paramount to the club’s long-term future.

Jack Harrison has already joined the club on a temporary basis after spending last season on loan with Dyche’s side.

Everton also wrapped up permanent deals for Iliman Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunam before the Friedkin Group’s withdrawal from the takeover process.

The Toffees, who were deducted eight points for breaching spending rules last term, finished 15th in the Premier League in the 2023-24 campaign.

Everton kick off the new season at home against Brighton on 17 August.
