While Roman Abramovich has expressed his wish to sell Chelsea, the English championship could introduce a new clause on the takeover of its clubs.
We can no longer count the repercussions of the Russian invasion in Ukraine on sport and on football in particular. This time, in the context of the sale of the Chelsea club by Roman Abramovich, a Russian oligarch who is therefore not in the odor of sanctity at the moment, the Premier League is considering adding a new clause concerning the takeover of the clubs of its championship.
Indeed, and according to information from the Guardianthe PL would like any new buyer of an English league club to respect a clause “guaranteeing respect for human rights.”
Anything but trivial in a context of conflict between Ukraine and Russia, but it is also a rule that could concern Qatari or Emirati buyers, especially at a time when the Newcastle club has just been bought by a Saudi fund.
