Chelsea has taken a new step in purchasing land next to the club, thereby promoting the process of building a new stadium to replace Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have spent heavily this summer to strengthen their team. However, the club’s new American owners do not want to stop yet.
Recently, according to sources from the Evening Standard newspaper, Chelsea is full of hope to take an important step in purchasing a plot of land worth 65 million pounds next to Stamford Bridge, which is part of the stadium redevelopment plan. of The Blues.
It is known that the 1.2-acre plot of land located next to Chelsea’s home stadium, owned by the Stoll veterans charity, will help Pochettino’s team not have to find a new location for a stadium.
Thus, Todd Boehly can launch his Stamford Bridge development plan, he wants to increase the stadium’s capacity from 42,000 to at least 55,000.
Chelsea had to go through many bidding and overcome many opponents to be able to own that land. Chelsea co-owner Jonathan Goldstein, a London-based property developer, is spearheading the project on behalf of the club.
Architect Janet Marie Smith has been tasked with the design and believes the new stadium will be one of the best in England.
The decision to rebuild Stamford Bridge will force Chelsea to look for a temporary stadium. Twickenham Stadium does not want to loan Chelsea. The half-blue London team only has Wembley or Fulham’s Craven Cottage as potential alternatives.
Construction of a new stadium would then likely take at least another five years and Chelsea hope to have a new home by the end of 2030.
