(Bloomberg) — Clearlake Capital co-founders Behdad Eghbali and Jose Feliciano are considering a bid for a minority stake in the National Football League’s Los Angeles Chargers, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
They are mulling making a personal investment in the team, said the people, all of whom requested anonymity discussing confidential information. Sportico reported earlier Monday that Dea Spanos Berberian is looking to sell a 24% stake in the team.
A representative for Eghbali and Feliciano, and a Chargers spokesman, declined to comment.
Eghbali and Feliciano previously circled the Denver Broncos, Bloomberg News reported last year. They also had sought to acquire 40% of the franchise now known as the Washington Commanders, a deal that was ultimately blocked by majority owner Dan Snyder, according to the Washington Post.
Clearlake last year teamed up with Todd Boehly to acquire Chelsea FC, triumphing in a high profile auction for the English Premier League soccer team.
