Football finance expert Kieran Maguire believes that Chelsea will adopt a new approach in the transfer market under the ownership of Todd Boehly's consortium - one that could look to replicate the ideas implemented by Fenway Sports Group (FSG) at Liverpool after the Reds' recent success.
The Blues have confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, with the consortium led by Boehly set to takeover the club. A statement on the club's website read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club.
"Of the total investment being made, £2.5bn will be applied to purchase the shares in the Club and such proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich. UK Government approval will be required for the proceeds to be transferred from the frozen UK bank account.
