Chelsea could be in for a major ownership change as shocking reports emerge that Todd Boehly is looking to sell his stake in the club after just two years.

 A consortium led by Boehly bought Chelsea from Roman Abramovich in May 2022 for a whopping £4.

25bn (€5bn/$5.

6bn).

 Since then, the Blues have gone on a transfer spree, spending more than £1 billion (€1.

2 billion/$1.

3 billion) on new stars and offloading almost all of the players who helped the club win the Champions League in 2021.

 Expensive stars such as Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Mykhailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku and Marc Cucurella have arrived at Stamford Bridge in previous transfer windows, while Chelsea also brought in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix and Tosin Adarabioyo in the summer.

 However, such spending has yet to pay off.

 Chelsea finished 12th and then sixth in the Premier League in the past two seasons, losing to Liverpool in the League Cup final earlier this year.

 The Chelsea board promised a more patient long-term plan, but instead brought in a string of managers, including Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Frank Lampard, Mauricio Pochettino and now Enzo Maresca.

 The past two years have certainly been tense for those in charge of Chelsea, and cracks are starting to show.

 According to Bloomberg UK, the relationship between Boehly and co-owner Behdad Eghbali has “deteriorated” in recent months.

 As a result, Boehly is now seriously considering selling his stake in Chelsea.

 However, Clearlake Capital will not sell any of its 61.

5% stake.

 Latest Chelsea news: Todd Boehly considering leaving Instead, Eghbali and Clearlake Capital are considering a buyout of the American, which would give them even more control over the club.

 Chelsea's ownership structure means that all owners would have to sign off on the deal before a takeover could be completed, including Boehly himself.

 Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol added that Clearlake believe they now have a very good hierarchy in place, having worked hard to appoint sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, among other key people.
