RB Salzburg director Christoph Freund has broken his silence on links to joining Todd Boehly's Chelsea revolution after he was present during the Champions League draw at Stamford Bridge against the Austrian league winners.
Since the transfer window closed, all focus from Boehly and the new Chelsea ownership group has been on constructing a footballing structure to finally compensate for the mass departures of Marina Granovskaia, Petr Cech, Bruce Buck, Guy Lawrence and most recently Head of International Football scouting Scott McLachlan.
Tom Glick has joined from Man City to be the new CEO whilst the other roles are to be filled. football.london understands that Boehly is keen on a multi-layer type structure which would allow multiple candidates to be employed for numerous similar roles within the footballing remit. Therefore, links to the likes of of Luis Campos, Paul Mitchell, Michael Edwards, Lee Dykes and many others including Freund cannot be surprising with multiple candidates expected to be evaluated through this elongated process.
