Chelsea’s sale to new ownership will reportedly be between £2.5billion and £2.75billion.
According to The Times, insiders close to the takeover are estimating that the club’s sale will eventually be priced at between £2.5billion and £2.75billion.
The report explains the bidders still in the hunt to buy the London club will cough up the gigantic sum, but there are still decisions to be made over the next owner.
It is explained several of Chelsea’s board members, along with the Raine Group bank that are overseeing the takeover, are still narrowing it down to their preferred investor. After that, the government will step in to approve a successful takeover.
The news continues to flood in at a frequent rate regarding the final shortlist.
It’s been reported Todd Boehly’s consortium, which includes businessmen Jonathan Goldstein and Hansjorg Wyss, is one of the bidders to make the final stages of the process. Also, a group that includes Sir Martin Broughton is believed to be on this emerging final shortlist.
This Chelsea squad needs investing
An important factor Chelsea’s board need to consider when selecting the next owners is the finances that will be made available for transfers.
Certainly, it could be a really important summer window to help shape the squad.
There are a few senior defenders out of contract in the summer, so manager Thomas Tuchel needs assurances that he’ll be allowed to reinvest in the group to help keep them challenging for trophies across the board.
