Chelsea’s owners are facing further questions about their links to Saudi Arabia after one of the club’s new directors, Jonathan Goldstein, brokered a £750million property deal with the Public Investment Fund, who also own Newcastle.
Sportsmail revealed earlier this month that PIF have billions of pounds managed by Chelsea’s new majority shareholder, Clearlake Capital, raising fears among some rivals about the potential for collaboration and possible conflicts of interest.
Those concerns will have increased on Monday with the announcement that Goldstein’s property company Cain International have agreed a joint investment with PIF in the Aman Group, who own luxury hotels and apartments.
