Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Moelis & Company LLC, and Robey Warshaw LLP served as financial advisors to the consortium. Along with our commitment to developing the youth squad and acquiring the best talent, our plan of action is to invest in the Club for the long-term and build on Chelsea’s remarkable history of success. “We are honoured to become the new custodians of Chelsea Football Club,” said Boehly. “We’re all in — 100% — every minute of every match.

Deal brings an end to Roman Abramovichs 19-year ownership of Chelsea, in which the club won 21 trophies including five Premier League titles and two ...

After Thomas Tuchel took over, Chelsea edged out a top-four finish and won their second Champions League title in May 2021. Italy coach Antonio Conte arrived and he had an immediate impact at Chelsea, winning the Premier League title in his first season. The new Chelsea chief's financial expertise leads to a natural fascination with the impact of data in sport. They would see the success of Liverpool under Fenway Sports Group and will want to replicate that." This is the legacy which we have created together." "I am pleased this search has now come to a successful conclusion. Since I came to Chelsea nearly twenty years ago, I have witnessed first-hand what this club can achieve. "The ownership of this club comes with great responsibility. We won't necessarily see the same merry-go-rounds we've seen in terms of coach appointments. The Blues said 12 of the bids were seen as credible. "Our vision as owners is clear: We want to make the fans proud. Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Boehly becomes Chelsea's controlling owner, even though California investment firm Clearlake Capital have assumed the majority shareholding.

The process was eventually won by a consortium led by Boehly, the part-owner of the LA Dodgers, and the US investment firm Clearlake Capital. The group includes ...

We also want to thank the authorities for all their work throughout the process. Our vision as owners is clear: we want to make the fans proud. A new era at Stamford Bridge is under way after Roman Abramovich agreed to the UK government’s terms for the sale.

“We are honoured to become the new custodians of Chelsea Football Club. We're all in – 100% — every minute of every match. Our vision as owners is clear: we ...

Together, we will expand the Club’s investment across infrastructure, technology, and sports science to support the incredible Chelsea football and commercial teams — all with the goal of leveraging this growth to fuel even more on-pitch success.” “We are honoured to become the new custodians of Chelsea Football Club. We’re all in – 100% — every minute of every match. For the new owners, the primary aim should be to at least maintain all that, while investing where needed, including in the stadium (also stipulated in the sales contract) and the first-team squad rebuild.

After a drawn-out process, the takeover of Chelsea has been completed, putting the Blues under new ownership as of Monday.

Hansjorg Wyss is set to join him with a net worth of £4billion, while Clearlake Capital will be the majority owner. The owners will also continue the important work of the Chelsea Foundation." That's because the American is a very rich man. US Banking firm Raine were left in charge of overseeing the process, eventually deciding that a consortium led by American businessman Todd Boehly was the preferred bidder. That being said, it looks like they don't need to worry about proceedings too much. Abramovich had owned Chelsea since 2003 but his reign ended after 19-years in charge.

Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly will “share joint control and equal governance of the club” with main partner Clearlake Capital investment firm.

"We will still work for Chelsea and I refuse to think of negative scenarios. Monaco are set to demand a fee of €80 million, which could hand Boehly's Chelsea a boost if he is to look for a marquee summer signing, and one for the future. Reports revealed that the reigning World and European Champions 'could' be in contention to sign the Munich man this summer and if Boehly is looking for a man to find the net after Romelu Lukaku's struggles, look no further. He has still not agreed a contract renewal at Barcelona or a transfer elsewhere as the latest reports have stated that Boehly is keen to re-open talks with the French star, if he is still available. What I can promise is that I will be here if I can promise that! I will be here with full energy and positive energy no matter what. Tuchel is a 'big fan' of the defender, and if the statistics aren't good enough for the new ownership, the fact that the head coach wants him should be more than enough to warrant the transfer. Chelsea have been scouting Gvardiol ahead of a potential summer move, with the 20-year-old one of the hottest prospects in world football. The Senegalese international was prised out of a move to Stamford Bridge but with his contract coming to an end at Napoli in 2023, Chelsea could secure his services at a cut-price. If Cesar Azpilicueta decides to move on at the end of the season, Koulibaly could bring an experienced head to the Chelsea back-line as the 30-year-old has plenty of matches under his belt in the Serie A. With Christensen and Rudiger departing, it is extremely likely the 23-year-old will join Tuchel's side this summer as he is 'convinced' he will become a Chelsea player this summer after being spotted in London. The Blues finished third in the Premier League and are keen to add to their squad, with Boehly reportedly set to invest heavily in the Chelsea squad, handing a £200 million budget to Tuchel during his consortium's first summer in charge to rebuild the squad.

Chelsea have finally been taken over by a consortium led by American investor Todd Boehly after months of uncertainty at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are in need of a striker who can consistently put the ball in the back of the net. The Blues were desperate to land Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde last summer, but a move never materialised. And he would surely be a big hit at the club after illustrating what he can do during his time in the Bundesliga. RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku is another player who had no issues finding the back of the net last season. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will be desperate to bolster his midfield, with concerns over the long-term fitness of N’Golo Kante, who was hit by a series of injuries last season. And the Blues will surely have been regretting their decision in recent years.

In Spain, the 23-year-old has two years left on his deal.

Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund is one of the top young midfielders in the world and has been tipped to return to England and sign for Liverpool. “We’re all in – 100 per cent – every minute of every match,” Boehly said after the deal had been completed.

Conor Gallagher is expected to be recalled from his loan spell at Crystal Palace and fight for a place in the Chelsea first-team. Another target for Chelsea is Christopher Nkunku. The RB Leipzig attacker enjoyed a sensational 2021/22 season with the German club and was watched by the Blues on numerous occasions. Chelsea are said to be interested in the 20-year-old's signature this summer and could well see the young Croatian as the answer to their problems. Levi Colwill enjoyed an impressive season on loan at Huddersfield Town in the Championship and could be recalled to give Tuchel more depth in his back-three. Jules Kounde is understood to be the Blues' priority, with the Sevilla defender keen on a move to Stamford Bridge, football.london understands. It seems as if Boehly is more than willing to back Thomas Tuchel in the transfer market in the American owners' first summer at the club.
