Eghbali aims to acquire Boehly's stake in Chelsea amid escalating tensions

According to Bloomberg, tensions have risen to a point where both Boehly's ClearLake Capital and Eghbali's ClearLake Capital are considering buying out each other's stake in the company.

It's suggested disagreements over transfer policy and the team's performance has seen the two men at odds over Chelsea's direction.

For Eghbali, there are no plans to sell-up, however, and instead he would be open to increasing his stake by buying out Boehly.

Clearlake owns more than 60 per cent of the club with Boehly, US businessman Mark Walter and Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss holding the remainder.
