Todd Boehly suggested that he could consider selling his participation in Chelsea if the club plans for the development of the stadium do not align with those of Clearlake Capital.
For several months, tensions simmered in the ownership group at Stamford Bridge, with Boehly and Clearlake Capital would be looking forward to buying each other.
However, Boehly tried to minimize these speculations, even if he admitted that his future at the club could be in danger if the plans for a significant expansion of the stadium are not prosecuted.

Although Boehly has been a leading figure at the head of the Chelsea property since the club’s takeover in 2022, his real participation in the club is relatively low, only 12.8%. On the other hand, Clearlake Capital, led by Behdad Eghbali, holds a majority participation of 62.5%, which gives them a significant control over the management of the club.
While the situation continues to take place, Boehly’s comments have sparked other questions about the future of club property and its long -term vision.
What has Todd Boelhy said about his future in Chelsea?
He said during an interview with Bloomberg in Hong Kong: “I think what the media write and talk about is exciting, but I don’t think it’s realistic,” said Boehly. “If you look at the evolution of the team, we have been aligned with what we are trying to do and what we are trying to build.
“It’s a team that is young, it’s a team that has long contracts and to do all these things we have done, it is obviously because we are aligned.
When he was asked if he would sell his stake to Stamford Bridge, Boehly expressed that he could leave Chelsea if Eghbali does not correspond to his ambitions on a movement of the stadium. “I think the status quo is something that is very good.
“We have learned from each other and I think we are really going to be able to resolve what we. We have to think in the long term and what we are trying to accomplish. We have a great opportunity to develop the stadium that we have to suffocate and this is where we are going to be aligned or we finally decide to walk in our different ways.
“What was written and what was spoken was much more drama than what really happened.”
