The club is in danger of going into administration even if current owner Farhad Moshiri is optimistic the sale will close. This is because there are still questions over whether 777 will pass the Premier League’s owners and directors criteria.
Pickford is Everton’s most prized asset, along with Manchester United target Jarrad Branthwaite, and Chelsea is rumored to be considering him as they search for a new No. 1 for the upcoming campaign.
Pickford has a contract at Goodison Park through 2027. Prior to signing Andre Onana, Pickford was under consideration by United.
The 30-year-old, who signed a £30 million contract to leave Sunderland in 2017, is now in his sixth season at Goodison Park.
Since then, in 276 games for the team, he has preserved 75 clean sheets and has been crucial to their three-year run of avoiding relegation.
Pickford, who is regarded as England’s best goalkeeper, will represent the Three Lions this summer in Germany at Euro 2024.
Although Chelsea signed Djordje Petrovic from Chicago Fire and Robert Sanchez from Brighton in the summer, they still had interest in his services.
After a successful stint with the Seagulls, Sanchez brought a wealth of Premier League experience to Stamford Bridge.
