Todd Boehly vows to make these two Chelsea players contract decision immediately takeover is finalised
Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s new owner, was present at Stamford Bridge to watch his team lose a 2-2 draw after leading 2-0.
On Saturday morning, Boehly and his partners agreed to buy the club from Roman Abramovich for £4.25 billion. All that remains is for the UK government and the Premier League to give its assent.
Boehly is eager to get started as soon as possible, as the Blues are likely to push for A-list acquisitions this summer to announce their arrival — a strategy he used when he and his partners purchased the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012.
Chelsea, on the other hand, must complete some internal work before making fresh acquisitions.
Chelsea are already behind in the transfer market after losing Antonio Rudiger.
Chelsea is already playing catch up in the transfer market, having lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen to Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, due to the restrictions prohibiting any further discussions with the players. Chelsea will not make the same mistake with Mason Mount and Reece James, according to reports.
From the time Frank Lampard was at Chelsea, Mount and James have matured into vital players.
Mount and James are among the first team’s lowest paid players. James presently earns £58k per week, whereas Mount gets roughly £80k per week.
Chelsea would be eager to improve their contracts as soon as possible, with their contracts expiring in 2024.
Also, N’Golo Kante, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, and Marcos Alonso’s contracts will expire in a year, and a decision on their future at the club will need to be taken.
