Clearlake Consolidates Chelsea Ownership as Boehly, Walter and Wyss Sell Stakes
Clearlake Capital has taken full control of Chelsea FC after Todd Boehly, Mark Walter and Hansjorg Wyss sold their 12.8% stakes, moving Clearlake from 61.5% to 100% ownership. Boehly steps down as chairman but remains in the ownership group; Clearlake says there will be no changes to day-to-day operations and will continue investing in infrastructure, sporting performance and long-term success. Chelsea highlighted recent on-field successes (finishing fourth in 2024-25, plus Conference League and Club World Cup wins) and ongoing stadium redevelopment plans that have previously caused tension between ownership factions.
