The remaining bidders for Chelsea have been given several extra days to submit their final bids for the club, according to reports, ahead of what is set to be a world record sale for a football club. It comes following Roman Abramovich’s decision to sell the club, with the final sale figure estimated to be between £2-3billion.
The Russian businessman has decided to step aside after almost 20-years at Stamford Bridge, with sanctions placed upon him by the UK Government restricting his assets following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The decision was due to his apparent links with Russian President Vladimir Putin, however, Roman Abramovich has always denied these links.
Bids for the Blues are currently being handled by Raine Bank, who have slimmed down the options to four remaining bidders. The four bidders are believed to be Sir Martin Broughton, Todd Boehly, Steve Pagliuca and the Ricketts Family.
