Chelsea are close to kickstarting their multi-club project by buying a stake in Strasbourg. The deal would be a major boost for the Premier League side’s owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, who have been looking for suitable clubs to purchase since last summer.
Boehly has spoken about a multi-club model being a way “we can show pathways for our young superstars to get on to the Chelsea pitch while getting them real game time”.
