New Chelsea owners, the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital consortium, will be facing questions over their investment when it comes to the transfer market and the overall running of the club. Compared to the last regime, Boehly has already outlined the desire to invest in youth talent over the need for players at or beyond their peak.
However, the need to bolster the current squad with players remains clear as the transition from one ownership and recruitment structure transitions. "We have talked about having a multi-club model," Boehly said during a SALT conference. "I would love to continue to build out the footprint.
"There are different countries where there are advantages to having a club. Red Bull do a really good job, they have got Leipzig and Salzburg, both of which are playing in the Champions League. They have figured out how to make that work. You have Man City, who have a very big network of clubs."
