Chelsea co-owners in talks to sell shares in the club
- Todd Boehly is open to selling his 12.8 per cent stake in Chelsea Football Club to majority owners Clearlake Capital.
- Chelsea director Mark Walter is also reportedly in talks to sell his matching 12.8 per cent share to the private equity firm.
- Clearlake Capital, led by Behdad Eghbali, currently holds a 61.5 per cent majority stake in the Premier League club.
- The potential transaction follows reports of a rift between Boehly and Eghbali over conflicting visions for Chelsea, including plans for a new stadium.
- With Chelsea now valued at £5bn, the sale would allow Boehly and Walter to roughly double their initial £325m investments made in 2022.
