Xabi Alonso has reflected on an “important day” for Chelsea after shareholders including Todd Boehly sold their stakes in the club to put Clearlake in complete control.
Chelsea announced that Clearlake will buy the minority stakes of Boehly and Mark Walter, ending the former’s time as chairman in the post-Roman Abramovich era, during which he played a hands-on role for a number the club’s big-money signings.
