Tuchel said he talked more about baseball with Boehly and the American billionaire is more ambitious to build Chelsea to reach the highest level possible.

Boehly and his consortium are set to be officially unveiled as the new owners of Chelsea in the coming weeks as Roman Abramovich walks away.

Tuchel, who spoke to the press via Chelsea’s 5th Stand app, was asked about Boehly and the German said: “We had lunch together, but it was in a room with everybody like players and staff. It was friendly and open, a very informal meeting over lunch for half an hour or 40 minutes. We didn’t go into details.

“It was not the moment, only to get a feeling and say hello. We talked more about baseball, but when the moment is right, we will share our opinions in more detail in the next weeks.

“He paid some money, so I don’t think he’s keen to drop the ambition. That would be a big surprise. I am sure that he is ambitious to build a competitive Chelsea for the highest level.”
