All of Chelsea’s Reported Suitors as Roman Abramovich Mulls Sale

Roman Abramovich has reportedly received multiple bids for Chelsea, although none have yet to reach the owner’s £3 billion ($3.9 billion) valuation, according to ESPN.

The Russian oligarch bought Chelsea for nearly $190 million in 2003 from British businessman Ken Bates. Abramovich has also reportedly turned down offers of £2.2 billion for the club in the past, but external pressure amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine saw Abramovich declare his intention to sell the club last week.  

The sale is being managed by New York merchant bank Raine Group with a deadline of March 15 to submit offers.
