Todd Boehly and Mark Walter in talks to SELL Chelsea stakes as Clearlake Capital move for total control

Chelsea's ownership structure is facing its most significant shake-up since the post-Roman Abramovich era began in 2022. Todd Boehly and Mark Walter are reportedly in discussions to sell their stakes to majority shareholder Clearlake Capital, potentially ending a partnership that has seen unprecedented spending and managerial churn at Stamford Bridge.

Boehly and Walter are exploring a sale of their stakes in Chelsea to majority owners Clearlake Capital, according to Financial Times , just over four years after the BlueCo consortium completed its high-profile takeover. The group originally purchased the club in a deal worth £2.5 billion, but a new agreement could now see the club valued at more than £5 billion . The club's ownership features Clearlake with a 61.5 per cent majority, while Boehly, Walter, and 90-year-old Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss equally share the remaining 38.5 per cent.
