It was another day full of twists and turns on Stamford Bridge. What looked like the last three candidates were waiting for a decision from the Rhine when the news came that INEOS owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe had submitted a late bid of £ 4.25 billion for the club.
However, it is considered that this offer was submitted too late, and it is understood that Todd Boelli’s consortium was told that they would be offered as the preferred bidder. This means that equally strong groups, including Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen Palyuka and former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton, seem to have missed out.
Chelsea fans, of course, will wonder if they have the right team to take over from Roman Abramovich, who has invested so much in the club over the past two decades. Given this, it seems that you do not have to worry too much about the procedures.

This is because the American is a very rich man. According to networth.com, Boehly’s current net worth is £ 4.72 billion. He is the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Eldridge Industries. Eldridge is a holding company with offices in New York, Boston and London and has a history of investing in industries including technology, media, real estate and sports.
Chelsea will also not be Bowley’s only sporting adventure, as he is already the private owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. It remains to be seen whether this experience will help him take on the role of Stamford Bridge, but the Blues’ loyalists will be happy to know that he made an offer of £ 2.2 billion to buy Chelsea from Abramovich in 2019, an offer which was quickly rejected.
Now it seems that he can finally make a deal, something that can excite all participants in the club.
