Chelsea FC could soon share owners with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Lakers, as bidders for the club have been reduced to a shortlist.
A consortium led by Dodgers and Lakers co-owner Todd Boehly, British real estate magnate Jonathan Goldstein, and Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss is believed to be in the lead, but there are still several well-heeled contenders for the Premier League club.
British businessman and former Liverpool chairperson, Sir Martin Broughton and World Athletics president, Sebastian Coe, along with Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils co-owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer, have also made the shortlist.
Harris and Blitzer would have to sell their stakes in Premier League club Crystal Palace FC, should their bid be successful. American investor John Textor, who has reportedly been seeking to grow his 40% stake in Crystal Palace, could potentially buy their shares.
