Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!After a difficult season that threw him all kinds of obstacles, Thomas Tuchel managed to steer his team to third place in the Premier League. The season got off to a strong start, with victories in the European Super Cup and Club World Cup adding to the excitement.
Things began to deteriorate after the turn of the year. Real Madrid’s early-season form deteriorated, and they were knocked out of the Champions League, while penalty shootout losses to Liverpool in the finals of both domestic cups saw them lose out on more trophy.
That merely scratches the surface of the challenges on the field, where an extraordinary few months have tested the club’s very existence. After 19 years, owner Roman Abramovich chose to sell the club, just before he was sanctioned in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Blues were compelled to operate under a special sports license provided by the government, which limited the club’s ability to acquire players or contracts, among other things. Todd Boehly’s group is likely to finish the acquisition procedure after an extended takeover process.
The American, in collaboration with Clearlake Capital, has submitted a £4.25 billion bid, with just minor barriers remaining to bring the drama to a close. Tuchel remarked of the forthcoming job he and the club have in the face of such change, “I don’t know where we are from day one.” What I can promise is that I will be here — if I can promise that — with full vigor and positive energy regardless of what happens.
“We’ll continue to work for Chelsea, and I’m not going to think about the worst-case situation.” On whatever level we will compete, we shall see.”
Football Benchmark has released its yearly valuation of Europe’s best teams in light of the approaching purchase. Chelsea is ranked sixth, after Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Manchester City on the list.
The Blues are valued at £1.833 billion, which is £2.417 billion less than Boehly’s consortium’s offer. It is a £304 million increase over the previous year, or nearly 16%.
Real Madrid is the most valuable club in the world, valued at £2.679 billion, while Manchester United is the most valuable of the English clubs, valued at £2.425 billion.
