One Chelsea owner has met with a former director of the club this week in an intriguing meeting that has taken place.
There is a big feature on it from The Telegraph today, which details some current plans and potential possibilities from said meeting.

They report Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly has made a recent visit to Saudi Arabia, where it is believed he met with the country’s sports minister and the director of football for the Saudi Pro League Michael Emenalo.
While neither side has confirmed the purpose of the visit and meeting, which is understood to have taken place in the capital Riyadh in the last couple of weeks, it will only underline the belief that Chelsea are once again attempting to raise cash by selling players to Saudi Arabia.
The article mentions players such as Marc Cucurella, Trevoh Chalobah, Conor Gallagher, Romelu Lukaku, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Armando Broja as potential outgoings.
Lukaku to Saudi Arabia I can see given where he is in his career and his wage demands, but Kepa is the only other one I can imagine agreeing to leave for what is, let’s face it, a “retirement league” for any top footballer. The younger names on this list are never going to leave Europe whilst the best years of their careers are still ahead of them.
