Thomas Tuchel has revealed his confidence that Chelsea’s sale will now be completed quickly. Tuchel revealed he was informed last week that Todd Boehly’s consortium had been handed preferred bidder status by Raine Group, the New York bank overseeing Chelsea’s sale.
Thomas Tuchel said: “I’ve been told last week that we have a preferred bidder and things are going forward. It’s a pretty important week for the club, but I was fully focused on the pitch. But after what I heard last week, I’m confident. Clearance is always the best, because when the situation is clear you can take actions, make judgements, take actions. Otherwise you’re in a passive role, and this is what we are right now. We tried to make it the smallest issue possible, but of course it is always there. We prefer to have it in a clear and forward-thinking situation. This is what we’re hoping for, we know what we deal with, this is what the circumstances are in improving the team, and that we can act, rather than react, or even worse, do nothing.”
