Original Summary
Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and director Mark Walter have sold their stakes in the club to majority owner Clearlake Capital. Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss has also sold his stake, meaning Clearlake - led by co-founders Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano - have now acquired full control of the club. Boehly, Walter and Wyss each had a 12.8% stake, with Clearlake previously owning 61.5% of the Blues. American Boehly will leave his role as chairman, a position he has held since 2022, when the consortium bought the club for £2.3bn from Roman Abramovich, who was sanctioned by the UK government in March 2022 over alleged links to Russian president Vladimir Putin - something he has denied. BBC Sport reported in August that Boehly and Walter were exploring selling their stakes. Multiple sources said talks started within Chelsea's ownership group after a rift, first apparent in 2024, led both sides to explore buying each other out. Boehly, who is a co-owner of baseball franchise the Los Angeles Dodgers, said it had been an "honour" to serve as Chelsea chairman. "I would like to thank the many who helped secure a bright future for the club, including the English Premier League, the coaches and players, the talented leadership and staff at Chelsea, and the legions of dedicated fans," he added. "I have valued my partnership with Clearlake and the wider ownership group, and the collective decisions and investment we have made to support the immediate and long-term success of the club. I am confident that Chelsea is well positioned for continued success under Clearlake's leadership." More to follow.
