The Telegraph report that Chelsea owners are planning to buy a 'minority stake' in Sporting CP, one of Portugal's most decorated clubs.
The plan is to use the Primeira Liga side as a destination for young players to develop at, either for the Chelsea first team or for further sale.
Boehly and Eghbali are aware that they are planning to buy a stake in a big historical team. They will have to exercise caution as to not paint Sporting as a little brother to Chelsea.
The Blues previously purchased a majority stake in Ligue 1 side Strasbourg despite the protests against the US ownership.
The Chelsea owners are inspired by the success of Man City's multi-ownership model.
