Since then, everyone has been wondering in whose hands the current European champion and champion of the reigning world (of clubs). ESPN tells us this Friday that the co-owner of the Los Angeles Lakers (NBA) and the Dodgers (MLB) should make an offer to the Russian oligarch for the takeover of the Blues. More precisely, it would be a group of businessmen led by Todd Boehly, therefore, in the company of the Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss and another person whose identity remains unknown.
Todd Boehly, who has a fortune estimated at around 5.6 billion euros, had already had talks in 2019 to buy the club from the English capital. Mushin Bayrak, a Turkish billionaire, told the media New Dawn to have “make an offer” for the current 3rd in the Premier League. While displaying his confidence on this file (“we will soon be flying the Turkish flag in London”). Roman Abramovich would expect nearly 3 billion euros to sell Chelsea while the suitors have until March 15 to submit their offer to the American company Raine Group, in charge of the operation.
