Roman Abramovich has put the west Londoners up for sale by inviting potential buyers to bid for the club this week, according to The Times.
The report claims that potential buyers have been contacted by an American-based merchant bank, who claim to be in charge of the sale of Chelsea, in a transaction that could cost as much as £4 billion.
However, The Times has added that the Russian billionaire could receive offers in the postcode of just £2 billion despite having rejected similar offers in the past.
