**Rome, Italy** – The Friedkin Group, owners of AS Roma, have reassured fans that their recent agreement to purchase a controlling stake in Premier League side Everton will not affect the Italian club’s operations.

In a statement released on Monday, Dan and Ryan Friedkin, who own a 95.97% stake in Roma, emphasized that the new deal will not impact the day-to-day running of either club. They also claimed that the partnership with Everton will actually benefit Roma in the future.

“We remain active investors in the sports industry. We love the beautiful game,” the Friedkins wrote. “The potential addition of Everton to our portfolio does not alter our focus on AS Roma. If anything, the multi-club symbiosis will only help Roma.”

They further stated that each club in their portfolio operates independently and that AS Roma remains at the heart of their football ambitions. The Friedkins assured fans that their commitment of time, resources, and energy to Roma will not be diminished.

“Our goal is clear – to see AS Roma consistently compete at the highest levels of European football,” the statement concluded. “To our incredible fans, we acknowledge the immense responsibility we bear in leading this historic club. Your unwavering loyalty fuels us as we continue building for the future.”

This announcement comes after the Friedkin Group agreed to purchase controlling shares in Everton earlier this week. While the specifics of the multi-club symbiosis remain unclear, the Friedkins have assured Roma fans that the new partnership will only serve to strengthen their commitment to the Giallorossi.
