Big news: Boehly issues ‘Huge’ Chelsea summer transfer budget’ to Tuchel after government approves Chelsea sale
The important news that we’ve all been waiting for come this morning, and it’s the news that means Chelsea can finally resume normal operations as a club and implement their summer transfer plans.
The Chelsea takeover sale has been approved by the UK government, and Todd Boehly’s consortium will now legally acquire control of the club.
The announcement follows The Telegraph’s late-night story that Thomas Tuchel will be given a £200 million transfer budget to spend this summer.
They allege the Boehly-led group wants to herald the end of the Roman Abramovich era by sending a clear message to Tuchel that they are serious about Chelsea chasing Manchester City and Liverpool.
This will be welcome news to Chelsea supporters, especially after a three-month wait for the takeover to be completed.
