Complete transfer of Chelsea Club to new owner

Club homepage Chelsea confirmed that the transfer of ownership of the team to Todd Boehly and investment group Clearlake will be completed next Monday (May 30). After all procedures are completed, this team will be allowed to return to the transfer market to prepare for the new season.

Chelsea’s top troubles began in March, when British authorities ordered a freeze on all of Roman Abramovich’s assets after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out. Chelsea is owned by a Russian billionaire, so it is also in danger of being shut down.

Chelsea were then banned from the player transfer market, from selling fan tickets to matches at Stamford Bridge and not allowed to negotiate contract extensions with players. This in part leads to the fact that players like Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso and Antonio Rudiger are more likely to leave.

In order not to affect the activities of the club, Abramovich resigned as chairman and sold his ownership of Chelsea after 19 years in power. Todd Boehly and associates won a deal worth £4.25 billion.

After the deal is completed, all bans that Chelsea are currently facing will be lifted. The British press said that the new boss will provide $ 250 million for coach Thomas Tuchel to rebuild his force, especially in defense when the pillars leave.
