Chelsea’s Ownership Struggles: Boehly vs. Eghbali in Power Dispute
Tensions are reportedly rising behind the scenes between Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
Since taking over the club in 2022 through Clearlake Capital, the duo has faced significant challenges, and it seems their relationship is now showing signs of strain.
According to multiple sources, Boehly and Eghbali’s once-unified front is beginning to fracture. Journalist Rahman Osman even suggested that the breakdown has been ongoing for some time.
\While it’s unclear what exactly has caused the rift, Chelsea’s underperformance on the pitch could be a contributing factor.
The Blues have spent over £1.3 billion in the transfer market, yet results have fallen short, with a 12th-place finish in the Premier League during their first full season.
Boehly’s willingness to buy out Clearlake Capital and take full control of Chelsea has added fuel to the fire.
However, Clearlake, owned by Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano, has no intention of selling their 61.5% stake, leaving the club in a potential deadlock.
The reported “civil war” between the co-owners is only adding to the chaos Chelsea have already faced, with four permanent managers in just two years.
With fans voicing concerns over the transfer policy and the club’s ongoing turmoil, the future of Chelsea’s ownership remains uncertain.
If Boehly and Eghbali cannot resolve their differences, it could further destabilize a club already struggling to regain its former glory.
Fans will be watching closely as this power struggle unfolds.
