After putting his Chelsea club up for sale, Roman Abramovich will quickly become disenchanted, as he will have trouble pocketing the desired three billion euros…
Roman Abramovich may have seen too big in relation to the sale of Chelsea. Under pressure from the English government and Boris Johnson, who must sanction Vladimir Putin’s relatives working in England, the Russian oligarch played for time by offering to leave his club to charity and then officially putting the London club up for sale. . But while he hopes to recover three billion euros in this case, Abramovich will surely have to review his copy, knowing that the price seems too high. Even for interested billionaires like the Turkish Muhsin Bayrak or the American Todd Boehly. Suffice to say that if he wants to find the best possible buyer as soon as possible, Abramovich will have to change his tune with the two billion mark in sight.

“Abramovich has a chance to get closer to £2 billion (2.4 ME). There are buyers looking for a club of Chelsea’s stature, but the fact that Abramovich is looking for a quick sale weakens his position considerably. Whoever comes to the table isn’t just going to give him what he wants. Especially since his country is now at war, so potential buyers will be reluctant to do business under such circumstances. In any case, a quick sale seems unrealistic in my opinion. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said it could be done in 10 days. It may only take that long for the Premier League to ratify the deal, but completing a sale in three months would be difficult due to the amount of due diligence that needs to be done.”said an English expert in the process of buying clubs, who knows that the Newcastle club, for example, took 18 months to be sold to the Saudis.
