Todd Boehly's consortium seem set to complete the purchase of Chelsea in the coming weeks and the American billionaire has held a couple of crunch meetings this week. Men's team manager Thomas Tuchel and women's team boss Emma Hayes had one-to-one meetings with him ahead of what could be a seismic shift at Stamford Bridge.
The takeover will mark the end of Roman Abramovich's 19-year reign as owner of the Blues, a period that has been the most successful in the club's history. Whether Boehly's consortium will match the spending power of the sanctioned Oligarch or not remains to be seen with a potentially crucial summer transfer window on the horizon.
Chelsea's men's side are facing a significant overhaul. Centre-backs Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are set to leave on free transfer while the futures of Romelu Lukaku Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho and N'Golo Kante also remain uncertain.
