Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and his board of directors have been inspired by the multi-club model set by City Football Group (CFG) and Red Bull GmbH. After the appointment of Graham Potter as the club’s new head coach, Boehly is now interested in revamping the whole structure, including the youth setup, at Stamford Bridge.
The plan is also aimed at reducing the club’s loan program, which has facilitated temporary deals for 23 players in the 2022-23 season.
According to The Telegraph, Chelsea have been holding talks to acquire a new club in Portugal. Earlier in June, Boehly held discussions with Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes and Blues’ academy manager Neil Bath regarding a potential bid to purchase a club.
Confirming his desire, Boehly said at the SALT Conference:
He added:
As per the aforementioned report, the Blues have identified RB Salzburg’s Christoph Freund as one of the leading candidates for the role of sporting director.
Former Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards (via The Sun) and PSG advisor Luis Campos (via The Times) are also currently on the radar of the west London outfit.
Chelsea will next play RB Salzburg at home in their second UEFA Champions League Group E fixture on Wednesday (September 14).
