A consortium led by American billionaire Todd Boehly is already discussing plans to renovate Stamford Bridge should they be successful in replacing Roman Abramovich as owner of Chelsea.
Abramovich is in the process of selling the club he has been in charge of for the past 19 years. After being sanctioned by the UK government for alleged links to Vladimir Putin, no money from the sale will go to the Russian but he retains final say on who succeeds him in west London.
Friday saw the deadline for initial bids pass, with preferred offers selected for the final stage. Boehly's consortium was one of those bids selected with the new deadline for improved offers set for April 11 with the aim to present a preferred bidder to the government by April 18.
