A report provides an update on how much the Chelsea co-owners will need to pay to buy each other out after a rift emerges between Tood Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

Chelsea's co-owners will reportedly have to pay £2bn to £3bn to buy each other out and end the power struggle at Stamford Bridge.

Todd Boehly led a consortium to complete a takeover of Chelsea in 2022, bringing an end to Roman Abramovich's stewardship of the club.

Behdad Eghbali and Jose E Feliciano's Clearlake Capital currently own a 61.5% stake in the Premier League club, while Boehly, Mark Walter and Hansjorg Wyss each have a 12.8% stake.

On the face of it, the co-owners appeared to be on the same page as they recently oversaw another summer of big spending.

However, it recently emerged that the relationship between Boehly and Eghbali has become untenable, leading to a power struggle between the co-owners.

How much will Chelsea owners have to pay to buy each other out

There is now a belief that Boehly and Clearlake are looking into the possibility of buying each other out to complete a full takeover of Chelsea.

According to Football Insider, the co-owners will have to pay £2bn to £3bn if they are to assume full control at Stamford Bridge.

Although Boehly is currently Chelsea chairman, the report claims that Clearlake are currently in a strong position to complete a full takeover.

Clearlake are believed to be in the 'driving seat' due to their majority stake and the number of seats that they have on the board, with Eghabli said to be the most powerful individual in the Chelsea hierarchy.

The current indication is that Clearlake have no intention of selling their share and are only willing to increase their stake in Chelsea.

How is the takeover affecting Chelsea's campaign?

Enzo Maresca was asked about the ownership situation ahead of Saturday's Premier League away fixture against Bournemouth.

The Chelsea head coach indicated that such issues were outside of his remit and that he is fully focused on matters on the pitch.

However, he did reveal that he recently spoke to Boehly and Eghbali, indicating that the current power struggle is not having a major impact on the day-to-day running of the club. body check tags ::
