Chelsea Football Club has confirmed that its multibillion-pound takeover is set to be completed on Monday.
A statement from the club said: “Chelsea Football Club can confirm that a final and definitive agreement was entered into last night to sell the club to the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital consortium.
“It is expected that the transaction will be completed on Monday. The club will update further at that time.”
After Chelsea was put up for sale on 2 March, marking the end of the Roman Abramovich era, the Boehly-led bid secured a £4.25bn deal, largely financed by US private equity firm Clearlake Capital.
