During the first quarter of 2023, Chelsea co-owner Clearlake Capital, led by Blues board members Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano, publishes a report on its operations.



Chelsea's co-owners Clearlake Capital have released their report of the first quarter of the year for the business. 

Clearlake, a private investment firm run by Blues board members Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano, completed six deals in the first quarter of 2023. The company completed two exits and four add-on transactions while also issuing updates on WhiteStar asset management, Appriss Retail, Novata, Discovery Education and Crash Champions.
Additionally, Clearlake promoted the news that Private Equity International had named the purchase of Chelsea from Roman Abramovich last summer as the deal of the year for 2022. Businessman Todd Boehly collaborated with Clearlake to achieve a £4.25 billion deal for the Blues, and since they took over at Stamford Bridge, they have been busy making an impact, spending £600 million on transfers.

Additionally, Clearlake supported the news that Private Equity International had named the purchase of Chelsea last summer—when the club was acquired from Roman Abramovich—the deal of the year for 2022. In order to complete a £4.25 billion deal for the Blues, businessman Todd Boehly collaborated with Clearlake, and since they took over at Stamford Bridge, they have been busy making a splash, spending £600 million on transfers.

The Blues broke the British transfer record, too, with a move for midfielder Enzo Fernandez for £107 million as well as securing big-money moves for England star Raheem Sterling and Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk. Since the takeover, Chelsea have also sacked Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter with the search for a new full-time manager still ongoing after the move to bring in Frank Lampard as an interim boss.

Clearlake have big plans for Chelsea, though, with former Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino eyed and a potential redevelopment of Stamford Bridge on the cards. "Despite the challenged market landscape, Clearlake closed two exits and four add-on transactions in the first quarter of 2023," a statement from Clearlake read.
"Clearlake remains committed to delivering flexible and creative capital solutions for control and non-control investments across technology, industrials, and consumer. We continue to lean into our multi-product approach, encompassing private equity, special situations, and credit, to ensure we stay agile and responsive to market dynamics”

Christian Pulisic Drawing Interest of AC Milan, Napoli, Juventus

WIN OUR $5 BTC TOKENS It is not up for debate anymore whether or not Christian Pulisic should leave Chelsea FC. The debate to be had now is where he should go. Pulisic went an unused substitute in the Blues win this past weekend, after having been left out of the team entirely the week before.   As we wrote last week, if Pulisic never plays for Chelsea again that would be just fine. So where can he go? The American is being strongly linked to Italy’s Serie A.  As you can see from the Tweet above, a former Chelsea forward who made the switch to AC Milan believes that his current side is the perfect place for Capt. America to go. “I think everyone would like it. He’s a big name in Europe, so that would help us,” said Giroud, who played with Pulisic at Chelsea. He is that kind of player with great skills, with great talent. He is a cheerful boy, always smiling. We laughed a lot with him. Our understanding on the pitch was also excellent, a bit like with Eden Hazard, ...

Pochettino identifies midfielder that will play key role in his squad

Mason Mount has been named a crucial member of his squad by Argentine international and former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is widely expected to be Chelsea's next manager. This occurs as questions remain about Mount's future with the club. The English midfielder is thought to be a target for Pochettino because he sees him as a potential crucial member of his team. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Mount's work ethic and technical proficiency are greatly admired by the former Tottenham boss. Mount will be out of contract at Chelsea in June 2024 and there has been little progress in regards to the negotiations on a contract extension. Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future at Stamford Bridge, Mount has been linked with a summer exit, with Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal all showing interest and willingness to sign him. Like Chelsea, Mount has struggled to impress this season, scoring only three goals and creating six assists in all competitio...

Chelsea transfer news: Barcelona can help Chelsea's transfer efforts this summer, especially when it comes to landing a striker

Finding methods to help Chelsea's goal-scoring problems is their top focus going into the summer transfer season. The next head coach will have a significant task to tackle once they are appointed because there are issues with both opportunity generation and finishing. Mauricio Pochettino is the undisputed favorite at this point in the game.London is aware that the former Tottenham manager is getting closer to accepting the position but has not yet done so. The lengthy wait is due to the hierarchy's use of a careful process to choose their next hire. Interim manager Frank Lampard has taken charge of the squad until the end of the season, allowing for a clean slate for the manager-in-waiting. With just one win in his tenure so far, the former midfielder was quite frank in his assessment of the assessment, saying last month: "Is there an issue with the balance of the squad? Maybe, yeah." As the club starts to plan for the future, it implies that some squad players who a...
