Chelsea remain the world’s eighth biggest club in terms of revenue, according to Deloitte’s annual Money League report, as the club takes a step closer to its change of ownership.
The West Londoners posted a revenue of £436.6million last season to stay as the capital's biggest club in terms of money-making ability. But the figures deal with last season and, with an update on the club’s sale expected later today, Deloitte say that one of the key trends to future growth rests in the one area in which they are behind many of their rivals.
Several bidding groups are expected to receive confirmation that their offers have been rejected by the Raine Group later today following a process in which several interested parties have spoken about the need to redevelop Stamford Bridge.
