Prospective Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is expected to make a return to London this week and hold talks with chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia over their future at the club, according to the Telegraph. It comes after the American had already made one trip to Stamford Bridge in the past week, signing papers to buy the club while also attending the Premier League draw against Wolves.
The Blues, disappointingly, succumbed to a late equaliser at the hands of Conor Coady, though the prospective owner was seen seemingly enjoying his afternoon anyhow. Club captain Cesar Azpilicueta sent the bidder a message on Sky Sports shortly after the draw: "Our focus has been on the pitch. Of course we are disappointed not to give the first win for him. It is out of our hands so not worth wasting energy on that."
Boehly was pictured speaking with Buck at half time during the game as the takeover nears the end, but before then the team have an FA Cup final against Liverpool this weekend, while the bid still needs to be approved by the UK Government before it can go through. It would put an end to a nearly three month ownership saga, following sanctions from the government on owner Roman Abramovich.
