Chelsea FC owner, Roman Abramovic announce his intention to sell the club

Chelsea’s rightful owner, Roman Abramovic is allegedly trying to sell the club, Chelsea.

Roman is set to receive offers to sell the champions of England by the end of this week, with at least three parties interested in buying the Blues, Express Uk reports.

This is just after, Abramovich faced the threat of sanctions following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last week.

The 55-year-old has already attempted to hand over the day-to-day running of Chelsea to the club’s charitable foundation.

According to The Telegraph, the parties interested in buying the west London club believe that was the first step from Abramovich to suggest he would be open to selling.

Chelsea have always maintained the club is not for sale but the Telegraph says Abramovich could be left with no other option.

He has previously turned down offers worth £2.2billion. The report claims Chelsea are £1.51bn in debt to their owner.

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel was asked about the situation at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday ahead of the FA Cup fifth-round tie at Luton.

Thomas Tuchel had pleaded for the media to stop asking him about Roman Abramovich as parliament hears the Chelsea owner is hastily selling his UK properties.

A visibly moved Tuchel asked reporters to stop asking him questions about the war in Ukraine, saying the situation is “horrible”.
