The Miami-based company and principal owner Farhad Moshiri reached an agreement in September to purchase the Toffees, but the Premier League has not yet given its consent.
According to a report by Bloomberg on Monday, in order to close 777’s purchase, the club’s primary financial advisor, Deloitte, has been looking for additional cash from lenders and investors who specialize in sports.
It has been communicated to Sport that this is “standard practice contingency planning” and that 777 may find more lenders through the process.
Sport has been informed by sources close to British-Iranian businessman Moshiri that they are still “working on completing the deal with 777”.
