Chelsea are now convinced it will receive the green light to complete its sale and move forward, controlled by the UK Government, until the issue is resolved, the club’s € 1.9 billion debt to the Russian oligarch. Roman Abramovich, still owner of the Stamford Bridge entity.
Todd Boehly’s (LA Dodgers owner) offer for Chelsea has been declared the preference of American banker Raine, who manages the sale. Instead, it rejected Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the UK’s richest man and owner of INEOS, with stakes in Mercedes, Nice and the INEOS Grenadiers cycling team.
The sale of Chelsea has had serious problems due to fears that the still owner, Roman Abramovich, will return to his promise to cancel the 1,900 million euro debt the club has to the Russian oligarch himself. Thus, the United Kingdom Government is worried about whether Chelsea will be able to compete next season if an agreement for its sale is not made in time and thus safeguard its future. The license allowing the London club to work will expire on 31 May.
The UK will not allow a single euro from the sale of Chelsea (or the loan) to go to Abramovich, but wants to use the money to rebuild Ukraine and help British grassroots football.
Given the situation it is going through, depending on the outcome, Chelsea could be forced to make money by allowing players to leave, such as two of Barcelona’s goalscorers, César Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. Andreas Christensen, who is also wanted by the Barça club, ended his contract.
