Chelsea are said to be in talks with a rival Premier League club over a potential four-year-old piece of land during the Stamford Bridge redevelopment.
The Blues are planning to build a stadium that could cost up to £2bn and could mean they have to play home matches at Twickenham, Wembley or Craven Cottage, their opponents' home ground. Fulham in London.
Todd Boehly, the American billionaire who owns Chelsea, is determined to have one of the best sporting venues in the world by 2030, though it remains to be seen whether that has anything to do with the demolition of Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's home ground since 1905 and build a new one or not. from scratch, build entirely on another site or simply expand the existing stadium.
However, according to the Daily Mail, this project will likely require Chelsea to play their home games elsewhere for at least four seasons.
It is believed a possible arrangement would see them play the majority of league matches at Craven Cottage, but Champions League and Premier League Division A matches will be played at Wembley. or Twickenham. The report states that Boehly "informally approached American billionaire Fulham owner Shahid Khan regarding the use of his club's pitch" during this period.
It is believed Chelsea have also approached the Rugby League, who want to increase revenue and increase the number of non-rugby events being held in Twickenham.
In the 2017/18 season, Tottenham Hotspur played all of their home games at Wembley after the rebuilding of White Hart Lane, so it is possible Chelsea will follow in the footsteps of another formidable London opponent.
Fulham is no stranger to the concept of space sharing, having temporarily moved to Loftus Road from Queens Park Rangers when their premises were redeveloped in 2002.
However, a problem may arise regarding Craven Cottage's smaller capacity compared to Stamford Bridge. While the Blues' home ground can only hold just over 40,000 fans, Fulham's, once development work is completed this summer, will only have a capacity of 29,600.
However, there will be no such problem at Wembley or Twickenham. The former can hold up to 90,000 while the latter can hold up to 82,000.

Erling Halaand
LONDON. - The unstoppable Erling Haaland broke the 40-goal mark in his first season at Manchester City with a hat-trick in Saturday's 6-0 loss to Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
After a five-goal volley against RB Leipzig in the middle of the week, the Norwegian striker once again proved insatiable when destroying the top team at the Etihad Stadium.
The 22-year-old scored signature goals in the 32nd and 35th minutes, and completed his sixth hat-trick of the season when he converted a rebound to end the game just before an hour. end.
He has now racked up an incredible 42 goals for City since joining from Borussia Dortmund last June. Julian Alvarez then scored twice with substitute Cole Palmer in the middle as City scored 13 goals in the week to progress to the semi-finals.
It's been a trying day for former City hero Vincent Kompany, who led Burnley to the brink of a swift return to the Premier League after relegation last year.
Haaland is only the sixth player in the Premier League era to score at least 40 goals in all competitions in a single season - after Ruud van Nistelrooy (44), Mohamed Salah (44), Cristiano Ronaldo (42), Andy Cole ( 41). and Harry Kane (41).
And with City still in three leagues, it won't be long before he turns 50.
“He can score 50 goals, maybe even 60 goals. It's crazy," Premier League top scorer Alan Shearer told the BBC's Live Match of the Day studio.
“Haaland is a beast. He is a scoring machine. He lives and breathes goals.
Haaland is more reserved about his extraordinary stats.
Haaland, who scored his first FA Cup goal, told BBC Sport: "The last two games have been very good. “7-0 and 6-0 before the international break was impressive and I am really happy.
"Every goal means a lot to me and every goal for the team means a lot."
Burnley really controlled City for the first half hour and created some delicious chances.
But when Haaland sped past Alvarez's pass and touched the ball past Burnley's Bailey Peacock-Farrell to break the deadlock, it all fell apart.
Phil Foden's low cross scored Haaland's second and his hat-trick came after Foden's effort to hit the post.
Alvarez also impressed and he scored brilliantly while young Palmer's strike sent a Man City side back to its best form on a most spectacular day.
