Premier League: Roman Abramovich could sell Chelsea, offers expected to arrive this week

A major obstacle

“He could end up with no other optionsexplains the media. It has also been claimed that Abramovich is preparing to sell his mansion in Kensington Palace Gardens (…) He has in the past turned down offers worth £2.2billion for Chelsea.” In total, three buyers are preparing to submit a first offer. But time is running out: “A big potential obstacle to selling Chelsea would be sanctions on Abramovich before the end of the week, as interested parties would then have to wait to find out whether or not they can trade with the 55-year-old or his associates.“, specifies the Telegraph.

After almost 20 years at the head of the London club, Abramovich could therefore step down in the coming days. Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel lost patience on Tuesday with reporters’ questions about the implications of the war in Ukraine for Abramovich, saying: “I am not a politician!“. “I have never experienced war. So even when I talk about it, I feel bad, because I’m very privileged and I’m sitting here, in peace“, he continued. “You need to stop asking me these questions because I don’t have an answer for you“, added the German coach.
