It has been revealed that Saudi investor Amr Zedan is one of several parties to bid for Chelsea this month, with Roman Abramovich keen to sell as soon as possible.
The Blues are currently operating under a special licence due to sanctions being imposed on Russian businessman Abramovich. The 55-year-old, who acquired the Stamford Bridge outfit in 2003, has ties with Vladimir Putin, the Russian President that is orchestrating the invasion of Ukraine.
The sanctions mean that Chelsea cannot sell new tickets, merchandise or spend over the odds on travel to away fixtures. But it is expected that those restrictions will be lifted once a sale is completed for the club.
