Boehly and Walter consider selling Chelsea stake to Clearlake Capital
The duo has reportedly been dissatisfied with the club's direction, particularly over recruitment, managerial appointments and plans for a potential new stadium.
Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and director Mark Walter are reportedly considering selling their stakes in the Premier League club to its majority owner, Clearlake Capital, according to recent reports. Boehly and Walter, two of the investors who partnered with Clearlake to purchase Chelsea from Roman Abramovich for £2.5 billion in May 2022, currently hold 38% of the club's shares, alongside investment firm Blueco Holdings.
The remaining 62% of Chelsea is owned by Clearlake Capital. Boehly and Walter are reportedly dissatisfied with Chelsea's direction, particularly in terms of recruitment, managerial decisions, and plans for a new stadium. Despite these concerns, the pair remain friends and business partners, having also invested together in the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team and LA Sparks women's basketball franchise.
Chelsea's 2025-26 season concluded with a 10th-place finish in the Premier League, and the club starts the 2026-27 campaign with a match against Fulham on August 24. Boehly and Walter believe the club is worth £5 billion if they decide to sell their stake.
