Former tennis world No. 1 Serena Williams and seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton have joined Martin Broughton’s bid to buy English Premier League club Chelsea, a source close to the bid told Reuters on Thursday (April 21).

Former Liverpool chairman Broughton’s consortium includes World Athletics president Sebastian Coe and wealthy investors from around the world, who the group says all want to maintain Chelsea’s top status.

Private equity veterans Josh Harris and David Blitzer, who own sports teams including the National Basketball Association’s Philadelphia 76ers, are also backing Broughton’s bid.

Williams and Hamilton have pledged an estimated £10 million each to the bid, Sky Sports reported.

Hamilton’s representatives later confirmed that the 37-year-old had joined Broughton’s bid, but said the financial figures quoted in the report were not accurate, without disclosing any details.

Reuters have reached out to Williams’ representatives for comment.

Williams is already an investor in Los Angeles’ Angel City FC, who play in the National Women’s Soccer League.

Final bids for the club, which was put up for sale by owner Roman Abramovich following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine before sanctions were imposed on the oligarch by the British government, were submitted earlier this month.

Others on the shortlist to buy the English club are Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly and Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen Pagliuca.

A consortium led by Chicago Cubs owners the Ricketts family pulled out of the running.

The club’s sale is being overseen by US bank Raine Group.
