Chelsea raise $500m to improve stadium
Ares and Chelsea owner Todd Boehly declined to comment when asked about the deal. The US-based consortium has shown interest in European football before, investing in La Liga giants Atletico Madrid and Eagle Football, the consortium that acquired French club Marseille last year.
According to the company website, Ares “works to pursue investment activities in leveraged loans, high yield bonds, private debt, private equity and other types of investments”.
The news is understood to have alerted the attention of Chelsea legend and ex-captain John Terry, who is thought to be the figurehead of a consortium interested in buying a share of the club.
