“Power Struggle at Chelsea: Ownership Rift Takes Center Stage Amidst Club Overhaul”
The ongoing rift between Chelsea’s ownership has been the main focus of discussions during the international break. A known disagreement exists between owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, with reports indicating that both are contemplating their future roles at the club.
It appears that both are interested in gaining full control of Chelsea, with fans seemingly favoring Boehly if such a scenario arises.
During their tenure, the pair have overseen significant changes within both the playing squad and the club’s staff. This may be largely influenced by Eghbali, according to a source close to Boehly.
Boehly’s camp has accused Eghbali of being “fixated on player trading.” However, The Athletic reports that Eghbali’s side strongly refutes this claim.
Many would prefer that attention be focused on the team’s performance on the pitch, rather than yet another off-field issue, especially as Enzo Maresca deals with these distractions early in his tenure as manager.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s young talent, Estevao Willian, stands out as a testament to the new owners’ strategy of securing some of the world’s top young players before their competitors can.
