Roman Abramovich puts Chelsea up for sale as Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss reveals approach

Summary:

Roman Abramovich has put Chelsea up for sale by inviting potential buyers to bid for the club this week.

It is understood that potential buyers have been contacted by an American-based merchant bank, claiming to be in charge of the sale of Chelsea.

Interested parties are thought to have been told that Abramovich wants around £4 billion for Chelsea, but sources close to the process believe that he can only expect to receive bids in the region of £2bn.

It is understood that parties have been encouraged to make their best bids by the end of this week, with Abramovich now under huge pressure to sell Chelsea.

Read his statement below:

I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC. As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the Club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the Club, the fans, the employees, as well as the Club’s sponsors and partners.
The sale of the Club will not be fast-tracked but will follow due process. I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid. This has never been about business nor money for me, but about pure passion for the game and Club. Moreover, I have instructed my team to set up a charitable foundation where all net proceeds from the sale will be donated. The foundation will be for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine. This includes providing critical funds towards the urgent and immediate needs of victims, as well as supporting the long-term work of recovery.

Please know that this has been an incredibly difficult decision to make, and it pains me to part with the Club in this manner. However, I do believe this is in the best interest of the Club.

I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person. It has been a privilege of a lifetime to be part of Chelsea FC and I am proud of all our joint achievements. Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart.

Thank you,

Roman

e don red Putin has finished Russians

Where is Aliko Dangote.

Chelsea fc is valued at just £2.5 billion.

Things have really gone of hand.
Is the Roman Empire about to crumble? Only time shall time.

Where is Aliko Dangote.

Chelsea fc is valued at just £2.5 billion.

The quick sale is why they are selling for 3billion

This is very painful as a Chelsea fan, nobody can replicate the kind of love Roman Abramovich has for Chelsea.

Right now what Chelsea needs is an Arab ownership which will be a very welcomed development.

If an American or British owner takes over that will be end of Chelsea football club.

Putin has really destroyed alot of things with his actions, I feel so sad for my favourite club which has given sweet lovely memories under the Roman era.

man this is bad. hopefully the new owners era would be better and more dominating than baba olowo era. putin God punish you there.

O

It is really sad my darling club got caught up in this mess.

It hurts!

On a brighter side, I am glad Roman won it ALL in football with Chelsea!!

I wish him the best.

Chelsea go lose tonight

Interesting

It's unfortunate that people who never knew when and how the decision was taken by Putin to go to war have to suffer for it

People who can't even influence the decision making

But Putin is seeing all these as collateral damage and sacrifices to achieve his purpose

He is seeing it as a big statement to demonstrate his authority and influence

Let's watch and see how all these will pan out

All these would've been averted if only Putin agreed to dialogue. Now your countrymen are bearing the brunt of the sanctions.
The sanctions are not even up to a week and Chelsea is up for sale. Only God knows what'll be up for sale next week.

Soon, Putin will face uprising from his citizens or generals.
Farewell Chelsea, though i'm not a fan but i love the club.
I pray you get a good buyer.

I'm interested in buying

Little by little, the world is collapsing. Some countries hasn’t recover from the effects of Covid and now war has started. This war will attack many not with weapons, but with policies and decisions. I pray there is an intervention from power above.

£3billion straight.

Its not putins fault that Chelsea is being sold....rather , blame the western dictators that just want evrry Russian to suffer whether they support putin or not... the westerners are the most evil forces on earth... if a leader of another country don't agree with their bidding , they sanction u... just look at what they did to Cuba and Venezuela...they are bullies ... the are the devil we have on earth... they are the ones enforcing LBGTA to the world, animal cruelty to mk animals more valued than humans, destruction of marriages and liberty to children that don't know left from right... they use Hollywood and media to corrupt the world , they are also destroying religion and respect.... the Eastern Easterners never colonised Africa or South America, they dont meddle with our politics ... lets open our eyes and see the real devil...

Its like all those movies that ud think the friend is the good guy until the end when ud realise the enemy is actually the good guy...it reminds me of the movie WANTED by Angelina Jolie and Morgan freeman

The end of Chelsea football club

The beginning of the end of Chelsea football club

putin warned these oligarchs a long time ago say the west wan seize their funds. dem no listen

KingEverest:

The British idiots never loved him. They are only hiding under the war to exhibit their hatred.
