Boehly and co-owner Mark Walter are looking to sell their combined 12.8% stake in Chelsea. This move would pave the way for Clearlake Capital to acquire a majority share in the club, reportedly for over €1 billion. The duo also owns the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team.
Under Boehly's ownership, Chelsea has made significant signings. Before this year's transfer window, 48 players were added to the squad. The club has spent a total of €1.7 billion on transfers, with an additional €400 million invested this summer, including the signings of Morgan Rogers and Maxence Lacroix.
VoetbalPrimeur reports that Boehly's investment in Chelsea has been substantial, with the club's transfer spending under his ownership being one of the highest in the league. The sale of his shares could have significant implications for the club's future, including potential changes to its ownership structure and transfer policy.
The Financial Times reports that Clearlake Capital's acquisition of Chelsea would give the company a majority stake in the club, potentially leading to a significant shift in the team's direction.
