Clearlake to Take Full Control of Chelsea | Chelsea F.C. News

Clearlake Capital is poised to seize full control of Chelsea Football Club, buying out Todd Boehly and Mark Walter’s stakes in a deal that could reshape the club’s future. Already owning over 60%, Clearlake aims to consolidate power after the BlueCo consortium’s 2022 $2.5 billion takeover — which included a promised $1.75 billion investment — faltered due to internal clashes over management and stadium plans. Mark Walter, set to cash in at a premium, isn’t pushing for the sale but plans to stay in sports. Tensions between Boehly, the former face of the takeover and current chairman, and Clearlake’s hands-on Behdad Eghbali have simmered for years; this move would sideline Boehly entirely. Hansjorg Wyss’s fate remains uncertain. Meanwhile, coach Xabi Alonso seeks stability on the pitch as Chelsea show promising attacking form — all while navigating a turbulent ownership landscape.
