Chelsea's ownership structure could soon look different, according to Sky Sports' round-up of transfer paper talk. Co-owners Todd Boehly and Mark Walter are reportedly open to selling their stakes in the club to majority owners Clearlake Capital, a development that could reshape the boardroom at Stamford Bridge.
Elsewhere in the report, Galatasaray are said to be prepared to double Bruno Fernandes' wages in a bid to prise him away from Manchester United, though any deal remains firmly in the speculation stage.
Manchester City, meanwhile, are hoping to push through a deal for Lille's highly-rated midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi within the next few days, according to the same round-up. On the outgoing side, City reportedly face a hefty bill of more than £120m to Chelsea in order to complete a move for one of the Blues' players, underlining the financial scale of Premier League business this window.
As ever with transfer paper talk, these stories remain reports rather than confirmed deals, and Sky Sports stresses the usual caveats around sourcing and reliability that come with round-ups of this kind.
