Roman Abramovich has revealed his intentions to end his near two-decade association with Chelsea.
After ceding the care and stewardship of the reigning European champions over the past week, he has now taken that a step further with his decision.
Should a deal be secured at some point in the near future, then it would signal a huge shift at Stamford Bridge with Abramovich having been a key figure in the club’s success since his original 2003 takeover.
