Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Chelsea's ambitions remain "very clear" following the end of Todd Boehly's era. The club announced late Wednesday that Clearlake, led by co-founders Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano, will acquire the stakes of Boehly and director Mark Walter. This marks a significant shift in ownership structure, with Alonso expressing confidence in the club's future direction.
The Chilean manager also provided an update on the injury status of forward Joao Pedro, who was ruled out of Brazil’s squad. Despite being withdrawn, Alonso hinted that the player could still feature in Chelsea’s upcoming match against Brentford. The situation remains uncertain, with Alonso avoiding direct confrontation between club and country interests.
Alonso’s comments come as Chelsea prepares for its next fixture, with the potential return of Joao Pedro adding an extra layer of intrigue. The club’s new ownership structure is expected to influence strategic decisions in the coming months.
The transition from Boehly’s leadership to Clearlake’s involvement signals a new chapter for Chelsea, with Alonso at the helm guiding the team through this period of change.
