This made Abramovich then decided to sell Chelsea, after going through a fairly long and time-consuming process, the Boehly-Wyss consortium finally succeeded in reaching an agreement to acquire the London club.
The consortium led by Todd Boehly is also reported to have signed a deal to buy Chelsea. This agreement is a form of commitment to transfer money from the buyer to the seller on a predetermined date.

Todd Boehly also took the time to watch the action of Romelu Lukaku et al against Wolverhampton Wanderers which took place at Stamford Bridge on Saturday (7/5), unfortunately the hosts had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
After the match, the Blues coach, Thomas Tuchel, also received a question about Todd Boehly who will soon become the new owner of the club, unfortunately the German man was reluctant to talk much about this.
“I don’t think the club acquisition process is the reason the team lost focus. Chelsea managed to show that the team has remained focused since the news about this emerged,” said Tuchel. the club’s official website.
“I heard the news (about the presence of Todd Boehly) at Stamford Bridge in the morning before the match, at that time I was carrying out my pre-match routine and did not give any reaction. So far I also haven’t spoken to anyone,” he added.
“I don’t have time to access the news or check my cellphone (to find out about the club acquisition process). I still have a lot of things to do,” explained the 47-year-old man.
Now the public is just waiting for the acquisition of Chelsea from Roman Abramovich to Todd Boehly to be completed, but before that there are still two stages to go through, the acquisition process must be approved by the Premier League and the British Government.
Approval from the Premier League is not expected to take long. While the British Government still has to issue a sales license, different from the operational license which is valid until Tuesday (31/5).
