2022-05-31 00:50:00 Chelsea's new regime will consider adding a former player to the club's board after completing their highly-anticipated £4.25billion takeover on Monday, such a move has worked with Edwin Van Der Sar at Ajax whilst Franz Beckenbauer is at Bayern.

In the short term, Todd Boehly will lean on the expertise of current Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia to help with the takeover transition.

Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia are expected to stay at Chelsea in the short term to help the new ownership bed in, but there remains doubt over whether they will stay at the club further into the future.

2022-05-31 00:39:11 Inter are considering offering Stefan de Vrij to Chelsea in a deal to bring Romelu Lukaku back to Italy.

Chelsea want Inter to fully pay for any loan move for Romelu Lukaku as well as agree to a €70million purchase obligation. Inter hope that by offering Stefan de Vrij, the Blues would demand less money.

2022-05-31 00:10:07 Chelsea will push ahead for Jules Koundé now that the takeover is complete.

There’s a feeling that Chelsea will replace both Rüdiger & Christensen in the transfer market by signing two defenders.

“Todd Boehly is going to be very hands on. He’s very clearly the face of the ownership. While he may not necessarily hold the biggest shareholding, he will have the controlling stake.”
