“It has been a huge privilege to perform this role at Chelsea for the past three years. With the club under new ownership, I feel now is the right time for me to step aside.

“I am pleased that the club is now in an excellent position with the new owners, and I am confident of its future success both on and off the pitch.”

The former Czech Republic international will officially leave his role on June 30 and Boehly, chairman and co-controlling owner, said as per Euro Sport:

“Petr is an important member of the Chelsea family. We understand his decision to step away and thank him for his contributions as an advisor and his commitment to the club and to our community. We wish him the best.”

Chelsea in the driving seat to sign Neymar

Meanwhile, English Premier League side Chelsea are said to be the leading club to earn Neymar’s signature ahead of the coming season.

The Brazilian superstar has not been too impressive at French club Paris Saint-Germain as he was subjected to jeers and boos following their shocking exit from the Champions League last season.

Mauricio Pochettino is billed to leave his position as manager of the club and new sporting director Luis Campos will lead the French champions to do serious business in the transfer window.

Chelsea owner meets Ronaldo’s agent

Sports Brief earlier reported that new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has reportedly met with Cristiano Ronaldo's agent over a potential summer deal that would see the Man United striker make a sensational switch to Stamford Bridge.

Despite having a year left on his Old Trafford deal, Ronaldo is believed to be staring at an uncertain future with the Red Devils and could depart the club in the coming weeks.

The Blues are keen to add a prolific striker within their ranks in the coming days following the departure of Romelu Lukaku, who sealed a return to Inter Milan on loan after a horrendous spell with the west London club last season.
