The change of ownership has meant a new economic management model with lower salaries.

Todd Boehly, the new visible face of Chelsea, is an American businessman and investor whose fortune, according to Forbes, is valued at more than 4.2 billion euros. Among other things, he owns 27% of the Los Angeles Lakers and 20% of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In addition, he is the co-owner of the Los Angeles Sparks, the WNBA women's team.

The new era Chelsea has entered is beginning to show, at least as far as the transfer market is concerned. The departure of Granovskaia, Abramovich's manager, and the arrival of Todd Boehly have had an impact on changes that are already beginning to be seen in the arrivals.

As the 'Daily Telegraph' points out, now, so that the players perform better, the 'Blues' offer less fixed salary and more in variables, in order to encourage motivation. According to the same media, this has already been the case for Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Kouliabaly.

In this way, Chelsea ensures that players who do not perform have an easier way to leave the club, just as players earn more if they perform better. At Stamford Bridge, they also have these changes in mind for upcoming renewals.

Well connected owner

Since his arrival, Boehly has sought to gather football-savvy staff around him. And the latest to arrive is a former City man, Tom Glick.
