Todd Boehly, co-owner of the LA Lakers and Chelsea Football Club, is reportedly one of three bidders for the Seattle Seahawks. A successful takeover would cost around $9 billion, making it the most expensive NFL acquisition to date. This move would position Boehly to own stakes across all four major North American sports leagues, as he already has interests in the NBA, MLB, and Premier League. The NFL recently allowed private equity firms to acquire minority stakes in teams, which may facilitate this potential deal.
