Boston Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca has broken his silence over his interest in buying Chelsea Football Club.
The 67-year-old – a private equity billionaire who chairs Bain Capital – and his consortium are one of the four bidders looking to purchase the Premier League side.
Having remained silent on his intent to buy Chelsea, Pagliuca made a number of commitments to the club on Tuesday, which include making a pledge to redevelop Stamford Bridge while promising never to join a revived European Super League.
Pagliuca and a number of other co-investors have only just bought a controlling stake in Italian club Atalanta, which could cause issues if his bid for purchasing Chelsea was successful.
