Russian billionaire Abramovich offers to sell Chelsea FC

Russian entrepreneur, who also owns Chelsea FC, Roman Abramovich has reportedly offered to sell off the club to interested buyers.

Abramovich has come under various attacks over his alleged ties with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, which he has denied.

Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss has confirmed that he and three other potential buyers have been approached to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.

Wyss said the Russian Oligarch is asking in excess of £2 billion

“Abramovich is currently asking far too much. You know, Chelsea owe him £2 billion.

“As of today, we don’t know the exact selling price. I can well imagine starting at Chelsea with partners. But I have to examine the general conditions first. But what I can already say, I’m definitely not doing something like this alone. If I buy Chelsea, then with a consortium consisting of six to seven investors” he added.
