Chelsea Football Club can confirm that a final and definitive agreement was entered into last night to sell the Club to the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital consortium. It is expected that the transaction will be completed on Monday.

It's been an honour - Roman Abramovich

It has been nearly three months since I announced my intention to sell Chelsea FC. During this time, the team have worked hard to find the right custodian for Chelsea FC that would be best positioned to successfully lead the Club into its next chapter.

The ownership of this Club comes with great responsibility. Since I came to Chelsea nearly twenty years ago, I have witnessed first-hand what this Club can achieve. My goal has been to ensure that the next owner has a mindset that will enable success for the Men’s and Women’s team, as well as the will and drive to continue developing other key aspects of the Club, such as the Academy and the vital work of Chelsea Foundation.

I am pleased this search has now come to a successful conclusion. As I hand over Chelsea to its new custodians, I would like to wish them the best of success, both on and off the pitch.

It has been an honour of a lifetime to be a part of this Club – I would like to thank all the Club’s past and current players, staff, and of course fans for these incredible years.

I am proud that as a result of our joint successes, millions of people will now benefit from the new charitable foundation which is being established. This is the legacy which we have created together.

Thank you.

Roman

I love his passion for football especially during Chelsea big matches..
I remember how happy he was when Chelsea won the UCL finals, he was just looking like a kid dt was served a bowl full of ice cream..
all club owners do get excited after winning trophies bt this Chelsea owner happiness is another level, maybe he gambled so much in big matches...
that Kain joy wey punters dey get whenever difficult games deliver, imagine u stake draws of 25 odds wit ur last 10k for ur betting app account and he deliver on a dry n broke weekend..
Canadian loud no fit Gv such joy....only gamblers can relate

This is strictly for genuine, True and Real Chsea Fans....

Abramovich, we thank you for all the good things you did for our darling club in 19 years.
You will never ever be forgotten.
We wish you all the very best for the future.
Love and Kisses Baba Olowo. kiss kiss kiss


Abramovich bought Chelsea for £140m 19 years ago.

Under his ownership, the club have won EVERY MAJOR TROPHY - two Champions League titles, five Premier Leagues, five FA Cups, two Europa League titles and three EFL Cups.

In August 2021 we won the Uefa Super Cup and in February our first Club World Cup.

Abramovich has appointed 13 managers and the club have spent more than £2bn in the transfer market under his ownership.

Chelsea's women's team, who became affiliated to Chelsea FC in 2004, have won four Women's Super League titles and three FA Cups under Abramovich.

"The ownership of this club comes with great responsibility," said Abramovich.

"Since I came to Chelsea nearly 20 years ago, I have witnessed first hand what this club can achieve.

"My goal has been to ensure that the next owner has a mindset that will enable success for the men's and women's team, as well as the will and drive to continue developing other key aspects of the club, such as the academy and the vital work of Chelsea Foundation."


BLUES TILL JESUS COMES.
THE SKY WILL ALWAYS BE BLUE.
WIN, LOSE OR DRAW......CHELSEA FOR LIFE!!!

Abramovich, we thank you for all the good things you did for our darling club in 19 years.
You will never ever be forgotten.
We wish you all the very best for the future.
Love and Kisses Baba Olowo. kiss kiss kiss

We heard the new owners have big ambitions in the transfer market as they seek to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.

If you leave a place the same way you met it, you are not a leader!

Roman is a leader and he will forever be missed as "The Chelsea"

Chelsea will for sure continue without him but he is the real Chelsea.

It's been an honour too., Mr Abramovich. The sky will always be blue. And to think that you benefited nothing from the sale of the club, your name will always be etched in the sands of Chelsea's history. You will be sorely missed. Wishing you the very best in your future endeavors.

I hate FIFA


They should leave politics out of football and other sporting event

Sports that suppose to be a unifying factor is what they are using as a tool to pursue their perceived enemy


For United Kingdom you think you are wise

Other National of different nations will be skeptical in investing in your clubs or other sporting related events

Because the treatment you gave to Abramovic will be meted to them incase things go awry


Just make sure it is only open to your citizens alone...na so football dey take die.

The west will be quick to furck you over no matter how much you have invested in their economy, just to paint a certain picture of themselves to the world. Look at a full Abrahmovich being forced to give up his asset because of his country of origin. Can this ever happen to an American or a British person? This is part of what the East and Arabs have been fighting against. The west is a den of hypocrites.
