Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel believes that Todd Boehly's ambitions for the club will ensure the Blues can compete at the highest level. The German coach had lunch with the US businessman ahead of the FA Cup final, albeit in a relaxed environment among players and other staff members.
Boehly leads a group including Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss that are in the process of finalising their deal to purchase the club, having come to an agreement earlier in the month. Chelsea's current licence to continue operating following Roman Abramovich's sanctions is set to end at the end of May, with the sale expected to go through in 'late May'.
Given the Russian owner's significant outlay over the last two decades, there has been an understanding that the same level of output would not be able to continue in a new Chelsea era. While spending may be more measured, there has been the suggestion that a statement of intent could be made this summer.
