Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and director Mark Walter are contemplating the sale of their shares in the club to the majority owner, Clearlake Capital, according to recent reports. Both American billionaires were among the investors who joined Clearlake in purchasing the London-based team from former owner Roman Abramovich for £2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) in May 2022.
Clearlake currently holds a 62% stake in Chelsea, while Boehly, Walter, and their partner Hansjorg Wyss collectively own the remaining 38% through Blueco Holdings. The duo has reportedly been unsatisfied with Chelsea's recent direction, particularly concerning player acquisitions, managerial decisions, and potential new stadium developments.
Efforts to resell their shares have reportedly been attempted multiple times between Boehly, Clearlake, and Wyss over the past two years. According to sources, Boehly and Walter believe that Chelsea's value could reach £5 billion if they decide to offload their stake. The two friends and business associates also share investments in other ventures, such as the Los Angeles Dodgers in baseball and the LA Sparks women's basketball franchise.
Chelsea suffered a disappointing 10th-place finish in the Premier League last season, and the club began the 2026-27 season with a match against Fulham on August 24.
