Former Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has suggested that Roman Abramovich will want the sale of the west London club to go through a ‘process’ before he decides to cash-in.
The Russian billionaire has already indicated his desire to cede ownership of the current European champions, that move being confirmed in an official statement on the Blues’ official website.
Any deal would bring to an end Abramovich’s near 20-year long stewardship of the club having originally sealed a big-money takeover in 2003.
