Khan had earlier called on Chelsea to engage with his office regarding their future stadium plans. The recent discussions suggest progress is being made.
While no final decision has been reached, the Blues are now exploring the idea of leaving Stamford Bridge, their home since the club was founded in 1905.
Club history and pressure to modernise will influence the decision
Stamford Bridge was originally built in 1876 and later redeveloped into a football ground in 1904 by the Mears brothers.
The club was formed in March 1905 to occupy the new football venue, and the team played their first match there on September 4, 1905.

The friendly against Liverpool ended in a 4–0 loss. Just five days later, Chelsea played their first competitive league game at Stamford Bridge, beating Hull City 5–1.
Despite its deep history, the stadium now holds only 40,341 supporters – one of the smallest capacities among the Premier League's top clubs.
Khan says the club has outgrown the ground, especially given their success in recent decades.
The club are under pressure to match their London rivals in infrastructure. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have all moved into new stadiums within the last twenty years.
With the Club World Cup ongoing, the Blues will aim to finalise their long-term stadium plan soon after the tournament ends.
A move to Earl's Court would represent a significant shift, but one that could help secure the club's future growth on and off the pitch.

Lacked cutting edge... Inter set record for shots but only manage a draw
Internacional had volume, but failed to turn it into a win against Vasco on Sunday (27). According to Opta data, Colorado finished 27 times, its highest mark in the tournament since August 2016, when they attempted 30 shots in a match against São Paulo. Was the insistence worth it? Not really. Despite the high number of attempts, Inter scored only one goal. Most of the shots came from outside the box or in unfavorable conditions. There was a lack of precision in the choices and efficiency in the execution. The draw frustrates the fans, mainly due to the dominance on the field and the revived offensive history after almost nine years. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round
President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round originally appeared on The Spun. Was the President of the United States caught "cheating" at golf over the weekend? President Trump, 79, is playing at his golf course in Scotland, Trump Turnberry, this weekend. The President of the United States played 18 holes on Saturday and another 18 holes on Sunday. However, was he caught cheating during the round? Legendary sports writer Rick Reilly says that President Trump is an avid cheater at golf. 'I've always said golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a guy,' Reilly said about Trump's golf game. 'And what it reveals about this guy is that he cannot lose. He has to win and he will do anything to cheat.' "And I know because I played golf with him and he took seven mulligans. He took a 'give me chip-in.' I've never even heard of a 'give me chip-in,'" he added. President Trump has won a lot of club championships over the years. But Reilly isn't buying it. 'What he does [is] he just calls in and goes, 'I usually beat that guy, give me the trophy,'' Reilly alleged. 'And I know this because when I play with him, he goes, 'You know what I do to win these championships, don't ya?' and I go, 'Please tell me. Give it to me.' And he goes, 'Anytime I buy a new course, I play the first round all by myself and then I declare myself the club champion,'' Reilly continued. 'So that's what kind of guy this is.' This weekend, video has surfaced, showing President Trump's caddie dropping a ball in the rough, seeming to give him a better approach shot. What do you make of this? "Trump working hard to bring down grocery prices," one fan joked on social media. Was President Trump cheating during his round or just taking a drop from his caddie? Sound off below. President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.
