The UK government will reportedly allow any of the remaining bidders to complete a takeover of Chelsea.
The reigning European champions have been up for sale since February, when Russia invaded neighbouring Ukraine. Current owner Roman Abramovich is alleged to have ties with Russian president Vladimir Putin's regime, something which he denies.
Boris Johnson's cabinet have sanctioned the Russian oligarch as a result of the allegations, freezing his UK assets. Chelsea are operating under a special license as a result of the measures, severely limiting their revenue steams. They face the prospect of financial collapse if a takeover isn't completed in the coming weeks.
