Todd Boehly has reportedly been rebuffed in his attempts to buy another football club.
The Chelsea owner, who bought the Stamford Bridge club from Roman Abramovich last year with his Clearlake Capital partners, is reportedly interested in buying Portuguese side SAD Portimonense. Portuguese media outlet Record, via Sport Witness, reports that Boehly has seen a £35 million bid for 75 per cent of the club 'rejected'.
It is claimed that Boehly has been speaking to Portimonense chiefs since September last year. Portimonense, 14th in Portugal's top tier, have also reportedly been targeted by the City Football Group, run by Manchester City's owners, along with Japanese, Chinese and Mexican interest, as well as from the Middle East.
