London, May 28 / BNA / Chelsea FC said today, Saturday, that a definitive agreement has been reached to sell the English Premier League football club to a consortium led by Todd Boley, part owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and with the support of Clearlake Capital.
Reuters reported that the acquisition is expected to be completed on Monday.
