Everton could be in line to exploit the “unrivalled talent factory” that is Brazil, alongside some of the world’s biggest clubs, if the 777 Partners takeover is given the all-clear.
According to an article by The Financial Times [12 February], one of the factors advancing Brazilian football’s rise to prominence in the world game is its outstanding young output.
Multi-club models have flocked to Brazilian clubs, such as the City Football Group (Manchester City), Eagle Football Holdings (Crystal Palace), and 777 Partners, due to the country’s steady output of exceptional young players.
777 Partners takeover would boost Everton in more ways than one
Since 777 decided to buy Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% ownership in the team, the financial portion of the transaction has undoubtedly dominated discussions, but the connections between the clubs, particularly in Brazil, might be quite beneficial.
Superstars from Brazil include Neymar, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo, who all moved to Spain. Other notable players from Brazil include Lucas Paqueta, Richarlison, and Gabriel Jesus, who joined the Premier League.
Traditionally, teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona have snatched up these players right away. While that still happens occasionally, as seen with Madrid’s £60 million acquisition of Endrick from Palmeiras, multi-club models now present an opportunity to take advantage of that market.
With 777 owning Vasco da Gama in the Brazilian Serie A, Everton may have direct access to the market of upcoming superstars emerging from Brazil’s numerous academies.
Due in large part to owner John Textor’s Eagle Football Holdings, which has Brazilian connections through Botafogo, Crystal Palace was able to sign Matheus Franca from Flamengo in the summer, despite interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Even though Franca didn’t play for Textor’s team, the South London club was able to close the transaction thanks to their base in Brazil and their knowledge of the Brazilian market; if 777 had their way, Everton might also be mentioned in that conversation.
Though worries have grown, it’s crucial to consider the advantages 777 could bring. The takeover process has lasted longer than anyone had anticipated, forcing 777 to finance the club temporarily through loans.
