Roman Abramovich has made the decision to end his 19-year ownership of Chelsea and it appears there is no shortage of suitors.
Rumours of a sale grew in strength after Abramovich announced that he was planning to pass the 'stewardship' of the club onto Chelsea's foundation and just days later the Blues owner confirmed his intention to sell the club.
In a statement announcing his decision Abramovich said: "I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC. As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the Club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the Club, the fans, the employees, as well as the Club’s sponsors and partners.
