John Terry exploring Chelsea investment but faces competition from Man Utd bidders
The Mirror Chelsea icon John Terry is attempting to buy a stake in his former club as the pressure continues to crank up on Todd Boehly.
The American billionaire completed a record-breaking 4.25bn deal for the Blues back in May last year as he replaced Roman Abramovich at the helm. However, he is already searching for fresh investment following a turbulent season-and-a-half.
Boehly has already spent over 1bn on new signings but has so far failed to inspire an upturn in fortunes. Chelsea finished 12th last season - their second-lowest Premier League finish.
The West Londoners currently sit 14th after a poor start to the new campaign. Now, it appears that Boehly is ready to welcome new investment to the club as he attempts to get the Blues back on track.
According to The Telegraph, Chelsea veteran Terry is one of a number of options who could buy a stake. The former defender has apparently joined forces with Chelsea season-ticket holder and chief executive of online technology platform PrimaryBid Anand Sambasivan and businessman Harley Kisberg to put together an offer.
