Chelsea have exercised options to extend the contracts of Jess Carter and Maren Mjelde until the summer of 2023, as the Blues announce their first contracts in the aftermath of Todd Boehly's takeover.
Boehly led a group that included Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss that took ownership of the football club on Monday, after a three-month process following Roman Abramovich's announcement that he would sell Chelsea. The sanctions placed on the Russian also prevented the extensions of Carter and Mjelde's contracts.
These two deals are the first to be announced since academy midfielder Ben Elliott extended his contract in February, while Thiago Silva agreed terms with the club in January for the men's team to extend his stay for a further year. football.london understands that Cesar Azpilicueta triggered an appearance-based clause in his Chelsea contract while the club was operating under its special licence and is also tied to the Blues until 2023.
