Former Chelsea captain John Terry is reportedly part of a group seeking to make a 10 per cent investment in the Premier League side.
Chelsea’s co-controlling owner Todd Boehly is open to new investment in club, according to reports.
The Telegraph reported Chelsea legend Terry, 42, and his partners are exploring making an offer for a stake in the Stamford Bridge outfit.
The offer would reportedly include fan involvement through a technology platform PrimaryBid. The platform’s co-founder and chief executive Anand Sambasivan is a Chelsea season ticket holder.
Terry’s representatives reportedly declined to comment on the prospect of investment in the Blues.

Terry had previously been part of a £250million consortium which aimed to buy supporters a 10 per cent share in the club.
The consortium was established when former owner Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale last year after he had been sanctioned by the UK government following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Terry fronted the True Blues Consortium, which claimed it would allow fans to buy a stake in the club for as little as £100.
The consortium had vowed to elect one representative to sit on Chelsea’s board, while fans who bought into the scheme would also get voting rights.
Boehly and Clearlake Capital ultimately completed a £4.25billion takeover of the club in May 2022. They have since gone on to spend more than £1bn on new players across three transfer windows.
Boehly is reportedly open to investment in the club, which would boost their plans to redevelop Stamford Bridge and their Cobham training ground.
Chelsea moved closer to beginning a £2bn redevelopment of Stamford Bridge after a sale was agreed in principle in July for the site of homes of military veterans next to their stadium.

The Premier League side have struck a deal with veterans’ charity Stoll as part of a planned £2bn expansion of their 40,341-capacity stadium in West London.
The agreement, which is subject to resident consultation, will see the club buy most of the two-acre Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions site which backs onto Stamford Bridge.
Potential work on the stadium, which would aim to increase capacity to 60,000 in line with that of the club’s Premier League rivals, would see the Blues playing away from Chelsea for over four years.
Boehly and Clearlake have also openly discussed developing a multi-club model, with the group take a majority stake in French side Strasbourg in June.
