Chelsea have secured $500m worth of investment from US firm Ares Management
Chelsea have secured $500m worth of investment from US firm Ares Management as Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital seek ways to fund a stadium build and growth of their football portfolio.
The $500m capital injection comes at a time when Liverpool remains open to inward investment. The temptation would be to question why Chelsea can wrap up such a deal of size at speed, and why Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have not yet been able to ink an agreement with a minority partner for a stake in the Reds despite a search that is getting on for 12 months.
Chelsea needed to solve a capital problem, FSG with Liverpool are trying to find ways to make the club bigger by adding partners who can bring more that just capital to the table. Hogan, speaking to the ECHO during the Reds’ pre-season tour of Singapore, said: “If it happens, it's going to be based on finding the right partner – the right partner for Liverpool, and Liverpool being the right partner for them. At the appropriate time, if there's something to announce then we'll let you know.
Chelsea and Liverpool have very different needs right now.
