CHELSEA co-owners Clearlake Capital are reportedly not interested in selling their majority stake to fellow shareholder Todd Boehly following sensational reports in the US.
The Telegraph claims the company, co-founded by Behdad Eghbali, have no intention of giving up their role at Chelsea.
It follows a report from US financial outlet Bloomberg claiming that Clearlake and Boehly are each exploring whether they can buy the other one out.
Clearlake own 61.5 per cent of Chelsea after a joint takeover with Boehly in 2022.
Roman Abramovich sold the club to the consortium for £4.25billion, with Boehly’s minority 38.5 per cent stake also being propped up by US businessman Mark Walter and Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss.
Clearlake and Boehly have since invested £1.2bn in transfers while going through three permanent managers and two interim bosses before settling on Enzo Maresca.
Their heavy spending is yet to yield results on the field though, with Chelsea finishing 12th in their first full season and sixth last term under Mauricio Pochettino.
And Bloomberg claims the lack of success has let to a “deterioration” in the relationship between Eghbali and Boehly.
It’s alleged that both parties are now exploring whether they can buy the other one out to gain 100 per cent control of Chelsea.
The two men are said to still remain fully invested in running the club.
But “differing opinions” on several factors including the new data-led recruitment policy of signing young players, as well as the lack of progress on building a new stadium, has reportedly strained the relationship between them.
However, the Telegraph reports that Clearlake have “no intention” of giving up their majority stake.
And they are only open to possibilities to increase their hold at Stamford Bridge.
It’s added that no talks have taken place between Clearlake and Boehly about a sale either.
SunSport have contacted Chelsea and are awaiting comment.

Todd Boehly and his colleagues must sell the the club to people with football ⚽ knowledge. The way you buy players at highest prices and selling them at the cheapest prices all that shows how shallow minded this people are. The England government and the FA must come in quickly because they are the source of all this miserable situation at the bridge 🌉. We want this jokers out of our phenomenal club. From the time they became co-owners of the club,no tangible solution to take the club where it was. There policy is very boring and annoying, kindly sell the club to someone worthy to take the club where it must be. With this current co-owners, Chelsea FC will shrink.

Two clowns! Zero concept about soccer. A sport that is about a team not shinny objects, and gives to the people not a profit line!
