NBA Chairman Larry Tanenbaum has joined Stephen Pagliuca’s bid to takeover Chelsea, according to reports. Pagliuca, who also owns Serie A side Atalanta, is one of four bids left on the shortlist put together by Raine Bank.
The two consortiums led by Todd Boehly and the Ricketts family have already been shown round the Cobham training base, while Boehly was pictured and filmed at Stamford Bridge watching on from the executive box as Chelsea fell to a first-leg Champions League defeat against Real Madrid. It was a move that appeared to go down well in the fanbase.
Pagliuca followed suit, copying the trick to reportedly attend the match between the Blues and Southampton at the weekend. Thomas Tuchel ’s men came out as 6-0 winners on the south coast that day.
