Textor claims he exhausted all options to acquire full ownership of Palace

Textor's attempt to purchase the remaining shares in the club has hit a roadblock as American businessman Steve Parish, along with investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer, have ignored his offer. Textor is starting to believe that his efforts have been futile in acquiring full ownership of the club.

The investor will now turn his efforts to selling his 45% stake in Crystal Palace after he invested £87.5M into Crystal Palace in 2021 to take control of 40 per cent of the club. Later he increased his shareholding by five per cent after investing a further £30M into the Eagles. 

"It is true that we made an offer to buy the remaining shares of Crystal Palace, at a valuation that far exceeds levels of prior investment. 

"It is also true that our offer did not induce a response, and we believe that our Palace partners have the same desire to remain in ownership as we once did." 

Textor now has an interest in buying Premier League rivals Everton owner Farhad Moshiri granted a period of exclusivity to him. 

In a revealing BBC Sport interview back in February, Textor called protests against his ownership by some Palace fans "nonsense" and "misguided", as he said he was "in it for the long game". 

If the investor wants to purchase shares in Everton he will have to sell his Palace stake first which could take some time.
