Chelsea have been handed an opportunity to partner with a prominent French team as a feeder club. American owner Todd Boehly was looking for subsidiaries to further the club’s transfer ambitions.
The climate in the Premier League is changing rapidly and drastically. With the funds coming into the league, they can sign some of the top players in the world. The arrival of new owners to Newcastle United means that the ante is up in the Premier League. With new money comes more competition.
Many thought the sale of Chelsea to a football novice would be the end of the west London club, but despite its spiral, they are already laying the groundwork for a resurgence. They are tenth in the Premier League, but it has not dampened the spirit of the new owner Todd Boehly, who has continued to press on with his plans.
Chelsea were the most active in the transfer market this season and are not relenting. They are looking to buy more players to strengthen their position, but Boehly seems to have eyes on other targets. The American is looking for a subsidiary and has the opportunity to partner with a prominent French club.
Chelsea to partner with prominent French club
Reports suggest that Chelsea are searching for subsidiaries and has already received an opportunity to collaborate with a prominent French club.
The reports also suggest that the west London club Chelsea have been offered the opportunity to form a feeder club partnership with Bordeaux. Todd Boehly is reportedly looking for subsidiaries to amplify the club’s transfer ambitions.
No club has come close to the Blues in spending in the last two transfer windows. They have been the Premier League’s biggest spenders, spending around £323 million on new players in January alone.
Despite their aggressive recruitment strategy, Chelsea currently lack the presence of a feeder club. However, it appears that the Blues intend to follow in the footsteps of clubs like Manchester City in developing a multi-club network in the coming months.
Journalist Romain Molina reports that the Blues have already been offered Bordeaux as a starting point. However, Chelsea could home in on other French sides in the not-too-distant future.
Bordeaux and other clubs that could be in the offing
In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Molina stated that Chelsea are seeking subsidiaries, primarily in France. He said the Blues received offers for Bordeaux. According to Molina, it’s not the only club suggested to them. Another English club has approached Dijon.
Chelsea recently hired sporting director Christopher Vivell, who previously worked within the Red Bull network of clubs and would be a valuable asset in assisting in the development of a new system involving the Blues over the next few years.
However, it remains to be seen whether the offer for Bordeaux will be accepted or if another club will be the first to join the revolution at Stamford Bridge in due course.
