CHELSEA FC owner Todd Boehly has today confirmed the purchase of Top 4 League club for a whooping sum of $2b all payments has been made and it will be officially announced tomorrow
The American pair began their multi-club endeavour in the summer by purchasing a controlling ownership in Strasbourg, a French team, with the goal of diversifying their team portfolio.
Additionally, they have discussed purchasing a share in Sporting, the storied Portuguese team, which would enable them to select players from the club’s academy.
Boehly and Eghbali’s intentions to invest in Sporting are reportedly no longer on hold after they resolved disagreements during discussions, according to Portuguese publication Record.
Boehly is believed to have invited Sporting officials to Stamford Bridge in April so they could witness Chelsea play Real Madrid in the Champions League.
In the past, Boehly has expressed his opinion that Portugal is “the ideal location” for investing in a new team in order to nurture Chelsea’s younger players.
Sporting and Chelsea’s owners have had “intense” communication for the past 12 months.
The Blues reportedly wanted to sign Andre from Fluminense in the summer and were prepared to loan him to Sporting right away, but the deal fell through because Sporting thought Andre was too pricey.
In the meantime, Patrick Morais de Carvalho, president of Belenenses, claims that if Chelsea acquired stock in the 19-time Primeira Liga winners, it would be disrespectful to Portuguese sport.
He declared, “I believe there is a plan and an intention that offends Portugal.” “In this instance, it offends supporters of Portuguese football in general as well as Sporting fans.”
