Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has a plan to end the civil war currently going on at his club and still values his asset in the billions, despite the team’s struggles on the pitch.

In recent days, it has been claimed that both Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital are open to buying each other out.

It comes amid growing tension between Boehly and Clearlake’s Behdad Eghbali. Right now, Boehly and Eghbali are not on good terms.

It explains the talk of why the two parties are not against the idea of buying each other’s shares.

Todd Boehly’s view of and plan for Chelsea

At present, Chelsea are valued at £2.5bn by Forbes, something that Boehly does not agree with.

According to GiveMeSport, the American values the club “significantly north” of Forbes’ estimation and if Clearlake receive that kind of figure for their shares, it would see them presented with the option of selling up.

It certainly will be interesting to see what happens, with the same outlet claiming that Boehly and Eghbali want a resolution to be found within 60 days.

Enzo Maresca will be focusing on getting his team ready for Chelsea’s next game against Bournemouth at the weekend. But the Chelsea manager will not be able to escape all of this noise, especially when he has to sit down in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

Chelsea need a win against Bournemouth amid ownership chaos

The worst thing Chelsea can do right now is go and lose to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

It would only add to the ownership chaos at the club and put even more of a spotlight on it, with many likely to see it as a distraction.

It will not be an easy game, with Bournemouth making a decent start to the season. In fact, Andoni Iraola’s men have collected more points than their upcoming opponents.

However, Chelsea have more than enough in their arsenal to beat the Cherries. Chelsea have confirmed that Cole Palmer is training after an injury scare, so the attacker’s presence will certainly boost their chances.
