Todd Boehly has indicated that Chelsea Stamford will leave Bridge and will go to a new stadium.
The blues have a step away from their iconic house in SW6 for more than two decades.
Plans for a redevelopment of £ 500 million, 60,000 capacity were initially confirmed in 2015, to be deleted three years later.
Sunsport revealed last month that ambitious owner Boehly has spoken a new site in Earls Court.
The American Tycoon has now confirmed that the club is looking at a step of the bridge – which has been their home since 1905.
Boehly said to Bloomberg: “I think we should think about long -term, what we are trying to achieve.
“We have a big chance for stadium development that we have to work out.”
He continued: “Stage development is a theme [around the world].
“Sports infrastructure, we are very at the front of the sporty golf.
“We have 16 or 20 years to sort this out.
“It is clear that it is really complex in London. It is not as if we are building something in the middle of a rural environment.
“We have many constituencies to ensure that we care.
“Certainly, the Chelsea Fanbase is one. But in the long term I think we are going to build something new.
“And we will find out.”
Manchester United announced ambitious plans earlier this month to build a new £ 2 billion stadium, 100,000 seats.
The plans to regenerate the local area around Old Trafford have received the support from the government.
And any move to Earls Court could see that Chelsea benefits from a similar arrangement.
The location of Stamford Bridge makes it difficult to expand, with the stadium the ninth largest in the Premier League.
Every movement of the stadium should be agreed with the owners of Chelsea -Pitch.
The supporter group owns the Freehold of the Stamford Bridge site.
Hundreds of fans protested last month against Boehly's ownership after a series of poor results since the new year.
The American led a takeover of Chelsea from 2022 with investment group Clearlake Capital.
Since then he has spent more than £ 1.2 billion on transfers -but the club has completed three permanent managers and various interim bosses, while he has not raised a Prem -challenge.
The American claims that the “Status quo is great” in West Londs after a turbulent period on and outside the field.
He focuses on every “tension” in the boardroom and said: “We implement a plan that will eventually have Chelsea where they belong.
“We are now in the top four of the table.
“I think the status quo is something that is fine.
“I think we learned from each other and I think we can really work it out how.”
Boehly hit a challenging tone while he responded to the fan refund last month.
Boehly said on the FT Business of Football Summit and said: “The criticism is just par for the course.
“The sooner you learn that you don't keep all people happy that freedom brings.
“So you don't have to live with their words.
“You can't go left and then every three minutes, what is one of the advice we get if you cook it down.”
And defending the transfer policy, he added: “Strikers are hard to find. You can't get it out of the supermarket.
“It's great skills and you have to have a fantastic mentality.
“The most misunderstood thing is that we think about it, measured in years, not months.
“You have to think in both the short and long term.
“We are aimed at a combination of both and are looking for the best possible way to implement that. It is a balancing act to find out.”
