Chelsea’s owners are reportedly exploring their futures together following a breakdown in their relationship.
Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, led by Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano, bought Chelsea from Roman Abramovich in 2022 and have overseen a whirlwind two years of record-breaking spending and bitterly disappointing performances on the pitch.
Reports of a bust-up between Boehly and Eghbali emerged earlier this year and were consistently shot down by the club, but Bloomberg now claim the deterioration of their relationship has led to both parties considering all the options available to them.
Both Boehly and Clearlake are believed to be exploring buying the other out of their shares of Chelsea amid concerns over their ability to work together effectively going forwards.
Clearlake are the majority owners with 61.54% of the shares. Boehly owns the remaining 38.46% alongside Mark Walter and Hansjorg Wyss.
The Telegraph add that Clearlake are not looking to sell their shares and would only be interested in increasing their ownership of the club.
Boehly and Eghbali are believed to have clashed over Chelsea’s recruitment policy, performances on the pitch and the lack of progress in building a new stadium.
It is stressed that everyone involved remains committed to Chelsea and still plan to run the club professionally, although their behind-the-scenes issues have led both to explore whether a separation would be possible.
