With the opening two weeks of the transfer window now over, Todd Boehly will be under little illusion of the size of the task he needs to complete in the forthcoming months. The Chelsea co-owner is set to be both the club's Chairman and Sporting Director in one of the more demanding periods where Thomas Tuchel's squad demands a rebuild.
Boehly will be able to call upon Granovskaia's help to aid the transition of positions following the new board being named and the former Chelsea director departing. However, the LA Dodgers owner appears to have already negotiated Romelu Lukaku's return to Inter Milan, an impressive feat for his first foray into European football.
The 48-year-old Boehly has already been provided with a deadline to try and persuade Raheem Sterling to move to Stamford Bridge, but that could be the least of his challenges over the next two months. The Man City winger is looking to resolve his future himself in his attempt to find first-team football.
