Roman Abramovich has officially confirmed his intention to sell Chelsea Football Club.
The Russian billionaire, who bought the Blues for £140million in 2003, has been in hot water following Russia 's invasion of Ukraine which brought his relationship with Vladimir Putin into the spotlight.
Abramovich first announced on Saturday that "stewardship" of the club would be handed over to six trustees of Chelsea's Charitable Foundation, but the botched attempt has prompted him to put his Stamford Bridge empire up for sale.
