The Todd Boehly bid for Chelsea is “very close to completion” according to Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports.
The journalist has been close to this bid all along, and is clearly getting messages from the Boehly consortium – so we trust that this is a first hand, if biased, take on how things are going.
It’s almost a week since the massive Friday where the Sir Martin Broughton and Stephen Pagliuca bids were eliminated, leaving Boehly as the last man standing.
He’s since been in exclusive negotiations with Chelsea to sort out the finer details of the payment.
Boehly-Clearlake takeover of Chelsea is now very close to completion. Raine sources tell me Wednesday talks were “highly productive and no alternative options are being explored.”Sources within Boehly-Clearlake say they’ve remained “calm” and are confident they will own #CFC.

The curve ball thrown by Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s bid certain added a spicy element to proceedings, but it seems to have been a somewhat fugazi offer, and everything seems to be moving ahead with the Boehly-Clearlake deal despite that.
If this final issue with the debt to Roman Abramovich can be sorted, everything can finally come together.
They should give him the money, let him not loss everything, we are all human beings, he is not the person that cause the war. Blues for life
This is pure wicked towards ABRAHIMOVIC
Those dealing with the process should really hurry up! There is no time left.
What an unfair treatment to Abramovich! This is a Conspiracy to destroy Chelsea football club.
They should give him his money what Putin is doing to Ukraine is he not with him,please give Roman his money please, so we can go back to our happy days up the blues
