LeBron James’s love for other sports and sports is not hidden from anyone around the world. The 4x NBA Champion is keen to build his portfolio with elite ownership. And as a result it was successful in acquiring some stakes in the Liverpool and Boston Red Sox. This time, however, another staff member from the Lakers family appears to be the biggest contender to buy Premier League giant Chelsea.
So who is this staff? According to ESPN’s James Olley, a group that includes the Los Angeles Lakers and Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly has moved on to the next phase of the Stamford Bridge team acquisition process. However, Boehly would not be the only one to buy the Premier League club, as his group includes names like Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss and British real estate investor Jonathan Goldstein.

To bring everyone on the same page, Chelsea’s property has been up for sale since sanctions were sent to owner Roman Abramovich for alleged ties to Vladimir Putin. Raine Group, a New York-based merchant bank, is handling the sale of the club and has received more than 30 bids.
According to reports cited by clutch points“The other person confirmed to be moving forward Friday morning is the consortium headed by British businessman Sir Martin Broughton, former chairman of British Airways, that includes World Athletics chairman Sebastian Coe and said to include Crystal Palace shareholders Josh Harris and David Blitzer.
“Sources told ESPN last week that Raine will identify two or three offers to be considered by the Chelsea hierarchy, excluding Abramovich.”
The Rickets family, which owns the Chicago Cubs, is also now entering a tender. However, there has been some backlash due to racist comments Joe Ricketts made in leaked emails a few years ago.
Given that Chelsea are fighting to secure their top 4 spot, an imminent official ownership deal could certainly ease the nerves of all their players.
