Premier League club Chelsea has "received interest from investors seeking to acquire a minority stake in their women’s team," with the club's owners "prepared to consider proposals." Chelsea values its women's team -- which has won the last four Women’s Super League titles -- "on par with Angel City," the most valuable franchise in the NWSL, and "could target minority investment that would value" $200M. Chelsea is not seeking to sell its women's team "in its entirety," and "if they do raise capital via minority investment, the funds would be invested in the promotion of the women's team and infrastructure." Chelsea also believes that "there is potential to grow" the women's team with a multi-club model globally, both within Europe and in the U.S. (THE ATHLETIC, 5/13).
