Roman Abramovich will ask two things from those who eventually purchase Chelsea Football Club from him.
According to Sky Sports, the Russian wants to ensure he sells the Blues to someone, or a group, that will continue his investment in the current Chelsea squad, as well as the development of Stamford Bridge, or indeed building a new stadium.
Abramovich confirmed last week in a statement that he would be selling Chelsea after owning the club for almost two decades, with the "best interest" of the west Londoners the main reason behind his decision.
The Russian businessman is looking for £3billion for the sale to be completed, with several interested parties already making contact with him.
Abramovich, before selling, though, apparently wants reassurance that his philosophy in terms of investing heavily into the squad and the redevelopment of the stadium, will be continued.
On the pitch, meanwhile, Chelsea recorded a comfortable victory against Burnley at the weekend and manager Thomas Tuchel praised his team for managing to block out what is going on behind the scenes at the club.
Tuchel said this on Saturday: "It is possible [to block out what is happening] because we do it. We had a brilliant match at Wembley [against Liverpool]. Even to make things harder a disappointing result at the end.
"Still, three days later, we were at Luton, a totally different setup, a totally different environment and circumstances, we were twice behind, turned it around, job done.
"Three days later Burnley, Turf Moor. You know what’s waiting: physicality, headers, second balls, fighting for second balls, crosses, set pieces and again we stepped up. So for me, it showed a lot of character. That’s why I’m very proud.
"It shows the guys have what it takes to play for Chelsea, it shows obviously the environment to focus on football because we believe we are allowed to focus on football as good as possible. That is why I’m very happy."
