Todd Boehly game-changing Chelsea sporting director call offers £58m transfer reminder

The structural changes that will take place in the coming years at Chelsea are likely to be far-reaching and transformative. The new ownership under Todd Boehly's consortium impacts all corners of the club, and it would not be a shock to see the Blues' whole transfer model shift within a couple of years.

One of the biggest changes that could occur is the addition of a sporting director. A position Chelsea have not had in any form since the departure of Michael Emenalo in 2017. Current director Marina Granovskaia places her front and centre of the club's transfer negotiations.

Granovskaia has proven to be a divisive figure amongst supporters. Some appreciate her ability to attract fees for unwanted players, whilst others lament her recent handling of contracts and wrangling over extra money for players Chelsea could do with letting go.
