Former Chelsea Owners Boehly and Walter Sell Holdings to Clearlake

Clearlake Capital now controls Chelsea after Todd Boehly and Mark Walter sold their stakes, and the club said there will be no changes to operations.

  • On Wednesday, Todd Boehly and Mark Walter sold their stakes in Chelsea Football Club to majority owner Clearlake Capital, granting the private equity firm full control of the English Premier League club.
  • Boehly and Clearlake's relationship soured over recent years amid disagreements on Stamford Bridge development, leading each side to pursue a buyout in 2024.
  • Valuing Chelsea at $5 billion, the deal provides Boehly and Walter $1.3 billion for their combined stakes, according to The Financial Times; Swiss philanthropist Hansjorg Wyss remains a partner.
  • Boehly will vacate his role as chairman, a position he held since 2022. "It has been an honour to serve as Chairman of Chelsea Football Club," he said.
  • With Clearlake now in full control, Chelsea confirmed there will be no changes to day-to-day operations or strategy. The situation may soon accelerate, marking a new chapter for the English Premier League club.
