The medium to long term plan is for Chelsea to buy stakes in continental teams with a view to them becoming ‘feeder’ clubs for the Blues, according to The Sun.
Chelsea will use this structure to cherry pick top talent from across the world and their academy to then send out on loan to other clubs. In a bid to help them develop players into future first-team squad members.
The move would be following in the footsteps of Manchester City. The City Football Group has invested in various clubs globally.
