To say <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/todd-boehly" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Todd Boehly</a>’s short reign over Chelsea has been a considerable failure is an understatement. The American businessman’s approach to soccer has been highly questionable. Boehly has gone through five managers in total and is currently on his sixth, Enzo Maresca.



Of the 42 players<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chelsea" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Chelsea</a> has bought during Boehly’s era, a total of $1.6 billion has been spent on player transfers, from Raheem Sterling to Gaga Slonina to Malo Gusto.&nbsp;



According to a report by The Sun, using the metrics of Transfermarkt, only 10 of these 42 players have a higher value than when they signed for Chelsea; that means 32 players have lost value.



<h2>How much has Chelsea’s player value dropped?</h2>



&nbsp;According to the report, a total of $487 million has been “lost” due to the drop in value of players like Sterling, Slonina, Fofana, and Enzo Fernandez, who have all seen considerable drops in value.

On the other hand, Andrey Santos, Malo Gusto, and Diego Moreira are among the players who have seen their value actually increase for Chelsea.

Speaking to the media on Monday, new Chelsea manager Frank Lampard was aware of the comments made by the owner and answered questions regarding what happened in the dressing room.
<h2>Frank Lampard on Todd Boehly</h2>
“I am comfortable with that”, Lampard stated, “For me, there was maybe some criticism of our old owner [Abramovich] of not coming to the games and not being around. That wasn’t always true, to be fair.
“But I think when an owner is very invested in their interest in the team and wants to help and improve, it is their prerogative to have the input that they want. I remember the moments as a player of owners first coming into dressing rooms — it actually happened here at Chelsea, it never really happened to me before.
“I remember being really happy that you could touch them, you could high-five them, you could listen to them and feel them. So, I don’t think it is a bad thing in terms of the identity of the club and where you want to get to.

“I have no problem with it from my point of view. I had my things I wanted to say after the game. If the owner wants to come in be positive, speak to the players be positive. Like Kepa has said there, it can be very regular in the modern day. No problem. In fact, it shows passion and that’s the first thing I like.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/wonderkid-18-year-old-prodigy-would-sign-for-real-madrid-without-hesitation-rejecting-chelsea-among-others-20220603-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a>‘s complex situation is now a thing of the past. The Stamford Bridge side was purchased by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/todd-boehly-group-agrees-terms-to-buy-chelsea-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20220506-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Todd Boehly</a> in exchange for £4.25 billion and is now ready to compete again against the world’s top clubs.
The new American owner will hand <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/new-chelsea-todd-boehly-expected-to-give-200-million-budget-to-thomas-tuchel-20220525-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thomas Tuchel</a> around £200 million to get things started, according to the Telegraph. In addition, it is believed that Chelsea will make a profit due to the players who will leave the club. For example, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-chelseas-lukaku-willing-to-accept-a-45-million-wage-cut-to-join-a-former-team-20220601-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romelu</a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-chelseas-lukaku-willing-to-accept-a-45-million-wage-cut-to-join-a-former-team-20220601-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lukaku</a> is reportedly close to rejoining Inter, and Marcos Alonso and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/no-it-s-not-marcos-alonso-nor-christensen-chelsea-player-to-sign-for-barcelona-20220507-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cesar Azpilicueta</a> could join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/liverpool-to-hijack-barcelona-deal-for-sadio-manes-replacement-ahead-of-next-season-20220605-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a>.
In this context, in the 2022-2023 season, the Blues will compete in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/uefa-champions-league-the-9-records-liverpool-would-have-broken-if-they-had-won-the-title-20220529-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a> and will also seek to be protagonists in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/cristiano-ronaldo-reportedly-makes-decision-on-his-future-as-man-united-bid-farewell-to-several-players-20220603-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a> and other competitions and for that, Tuchel knows that he needs to have players of high level. And apparently, Chelsea already know who to sign.
<h2>OusmaneDembele could become Chelsea’s first signing of the Todd Boehly era</h2>
According to Talksport, Chelsea are very close to signing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/haaland-dembele-and-aubameyang-among-the-10-most-expensive-sales-in-borussia-dortmund-s-history-20220512-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ousmane Dembele</a>. It is a fact that the 25-year-old will not renew his contract with Barcelona, and as of July 1, he will be a free agent.
As reported by AS, the player himself informed the board of directors and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-the-solution-to-finally-get-bayern-to-agree-to-sell-robert-lewandowski-20220604-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Xavi Hernandez</a> that he will not continue with the Spanish team. The conditions offered by Barcelona were very different from his expectations. Dembele asked Barça to renew with a salary of €30 million gross per year and a bonus of €30 million for him, and another €15 million for his representative.
After that, it looked like Dembele was going to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-bound-midfielder-worth-more-than-messi-neymar-and-donnarumma-20220603-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSG</a>, where he would play with his friend <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-messi-mbappe-and-neymar-already-have-a-star-winger-to-join-them-in-attack-at-psg-20220526-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylian Mbappe and reunite with Lionel Messi</a>. It was believed that PSG had offered him a contract worth €17 million a year plus a signing bonus for arriving in France as a free player. But something happened, and the contract did not come to fruition.
Now, reporter Alex Crook has confirmed that the Premier League side looks set to be the most likely location for the winger. He said: “This one has really taken off overnight. Chelsea look like they are favorites to sign Ousmane Dembele on a free transfer. He’s been letting his contract run down at Barcelona, and he would be the first signing of the Todd Boehly era”.
In the 2021-2022 season, Dembele played 19 games for Barcelona out of 33 possible matches, scored 3 goals, and provided 13 assists, making him <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/this-is-how-much-money-real-madrid-players-will-earn-for-winning-la-liga-title-20220508-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a>‘s top assist man. The French currently earns 9,900,000 euros per year.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/casemiro-on-chelseas-radar-real-madrid-star-in-tuchels-plans-as-jorginho-and-kantes-futures-uncertain-20220519-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a>appear to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It was not an easy season for the Blues, finished third in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/premier-league-winners-list-by-year-20220520-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021-2022 Premier League</a> standings with 74 points but lost the Carabao Cup and FA Cup Finals to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-psg-plan-to-team-up-liverpool-forward-with-lionel-messi-and-neymar-20220519-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a>.
In addition, the club’s fans, players, and workers experienced months of uncertainty after the British government forced Roman Abramovich to sell Chelsea due to his close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin following the invasion of Ukraine.
But the good news came at Stamford Bridge. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/boehly-s-new-chelsea-lukaku-jorginho-and-pulisic-among-11-players-who-could-leave-the-club-20220511-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Todd Boehly</a> was willing to buy the club for £4.25 billion but then had to wait for approval from the British government. The British government feared that Abramovich may use the money to provide funding to Russia. Approval was delayed but finalized.
The proceeds from the sale will be frozen in a UK bank account until the government has received further assurances that the money will solely go to support humanitarian causes in Ukraine. With the approval finalized, Todd Boehly and his team are expected to hand over a large sum of money so that Chelsea officials can sign top-quality players.
<h2>Chelsea’s budget</h2>
Due to the English government’s punishment of Abramovich, Chelsea were neither allowed to renew contracts nor to sign new players. For that reason, for example, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/chelsea-why-antonio-rudiger-opted-not-to-renew-and-join-real-madrid-20220521-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antonio Rudiger</a> has left the club. Also leaving Chelsea are <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/xavi-s-new-barcelona-first-two-signings-to-arrive-at-zero-cost-20220428-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andreas Christensen</a>, Marcos Alonso, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/no-it-s-not-marcos-alonso-nor-christensen-chelsea-player-to-sign-for-barcelona-20220507-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cesar Azpilicueta</a>. The continuity of several players in the squad is in doubt.
To look to replace the players who will be leaving and to be able to sign top-level players to be able to compete again at the elite level, Boehly will hand Thomas Tuchel around £200 million to get things started, according to the Telegraph. Although part of the funds are expected to come from the sale of players.
Player sales, plus a cash injection from Boehly, would give Tuchel plenty of funds forthis summer. As reported by the Telegraph, the club have drawn up an eight-man Centre-Back list following the departures of Rudiger and Christensen. Furthermore,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/salah-sterling-mane-and-others-the-real-madrid-targets-after-kylian-mbappe-snub-20220522-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raheem Sterling</a> integrates the list of strikers who could join the club.
