Chelses sale to be completed before end of season | OneFootball

Chelsea's sale could be completed before the end of the season.

Chelsea must complete the sale by May 31 when the Blues' temporary Government licence expires, but Todd Boehly's consortium is understood to be primed to wrap up the £4.25billion purchase within that time frame, reports PA Sport.

Chelsea will host Watford to close their Premier League campaign on May 22, and there is now a chance that US tycoon Boehly could be rubber-stamped as the Blues' new owner in time for the final match of the season.

Prospective new Chelsea owner Boehly was on hand at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as the Blues slipped to a frustrating 2-2 Premier League draw with Wolves.

The Premier League will carry out the owners' and directors' tests on Boehly's consortium, in the wake of Chelsea's statement confirming the Eldridge Industries chief executive's purchase agreement to buy the club.
