Argentina president Javier Milei: Chelsea want to buy Boca Juniors

Argentina president Javier Milei has reaffirmed his comments on Chelsea's plans to buy into local football.

Milei is eager to open up Argentine football to foreign investment.

And he revealed to TyC Sports: "Sports limited companies are a necessity and an emergency due to foreign investment. There are Arab groups waiting to invest $3 billion. What is the point of SADs? Investments are coming very quickly.

"It's a very easy activity, there is no need to set up huge machinery or wait two years as if you were creating a factory.

"We have the desire expressed by Chelsea to buy Boca, Racing, Estudiantes, Newells or Lanus. It's quick money. If the members of these clubs do not want, they will continue with the current system.

"I am a member and supporter of Boca and if investment groups come and invest a fortune so that we always win, where should I sign?"
