Un consorcio dirigido por Todd Boehly compra al Chelsea
May 26, 2022 - Un consorcio dirigido por Todd Boehly – aprobado por el gobierno del RU – ha completado la adquisición del club Chelsea de Premier League por £4.250m($5.25om), poniendo fin a dos décadas de propiedad bajo Roman Abramovich.
Key players in the consortium to buy Chelsea are: Todd Boehly, who owns a 20% share of baseball team LA Dodgers, and a 27% stake in NBA basketball franchise Los Angeles Lakers. While Clearlake Capital -- a California private equity firm led by José E. Feliciano and Behdad Eghbali -- will own a majority share of the club.
Also involved are Mark Walter, chief executive of Guggenheim Partners, which has over $310bn in corporate assets, and philanthropic Swiss billionaire, Hansjoerg Wyss.
The takeover includes an initial £2.5bn ($3.09bn) paid for Chelsea, followed by £1.75bn ($2.16bn) for future investments, including stadiums at Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow – not included in original purchase price.
