Chelsea co-owners Boehly & Walter explore selling stakes

Multiple sources say talks have begun within Chelsea's ownership group after a rift, first apparent in 2024, led both sides to explore buying each other out.

Walter, the co-owner and chief executive of global finance firm Guggenheim Partners, where Boehly also began his financial career, last week sold the Los Angeles Lakers for a record $12.

It would represent a further reduction in Boehly's influence, having initially been the public face of the takeover before serving as interim sporting director during the first transfer window under the new ownership.
