Todd Boley is about to acquire an interest in Strasburg
Todd Boley wants to get more actively involved in European football as he is pushing ahead with negotiations to acquire part of Strasbourg shares following the takeover of Chelsea while the possibility of acquiring the majority stake is open.
Chelsea owner Todd Boley has intensified negotiations with Strasbourg president Marc Keller to buy a stake in the club or even buy a majority stake in the club, the Guardian reports.
The American owner has expressed interest in bolstering his football portfolio with teams from Belgium and Portugal, taking advice from well-known agent Jorge Mendes, with whom he has an excellent relationship.
Tod Boley’s appetite has been whetted by UEFA President Aleksandar Ceferin, who appears keen on easing restrictions on teams with the same ownership and their participation in European competitions.
To this day, UEFA bans teams from participating in European competitions that Own or deal in securities or shares of another club participating in a European competition. However, this “norm” does not prohibit an owner who owns 100% of a team’s shares from having shares of “non-significant influence (ie, a small portion of shares)” in another team in the same organization.
It should be noted that Marc Keller is ready to leave Strasbourg as he wants to become the new president of the French Football Federation.

Arsenal also destroyed Leeds, responding to Manchester City and keeping the gap between the two teams at seven points. Daniel Pontense’s goal denied Nottingham a win against Wolves.
Manchester City threw the ball at Arsenal and they responded the same. The 4-1 Premier League leaders against Leeds in London kept the gap between the two sides at seven points after 29 games, albeit with a game in hand.
The game was fairly lackluster for about half an hour as neither team found room to create. After the first good moment of the game, the guests scored the first goal with a penalty, which was won and executed by Gabriel Jesus in the 35th minute.
After the 1:0 the tide turned and at the beginning of the 2nd half Ben White scored the 2:0 from close range. Shortly after, Jesus doubled his tally and despite Rasmus Christensen’s equaliser, Arsenal never felt threatened, captain Granit Xhaka making it 4-1.
Nottingham played with fire and it paid off in the end as Wolves drew 1-1 at “City Ground” and kept the gap between the two teams fighting for relegation to one point. The hosts took the lead in the first half with their first-choice scorer Brennan Johnson, but conceded the ball to the wolves from the start, which didn’t turn out to be right. Several finals by either side were unsuccessful until Daniel Pontense, first substitute Julen Lopetegui, equalized to make it 1-1 in the 83rd minute.
