Todd Boehly is reportedly prepared to buy out Chelsea co-owners Clearlake Capital to avoid a boardroom 'civil war' at Stamford Bridge.
Boehly and Clearlake took over when Roman Abramovich was forced to sell following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Clearlake are majority shareholders with 61.5 per cent, while Boehly splits the remaining 38.5 per cent with two other investors.
Reports have claimed Boehly has been examining whether he can buy out Clearlake, with his relationship with frontman Behdad Eghbali claimed to have broken down.
According to the Telegraph, the American reportedly believes he can quickly raise over £2.
