Hansjorg Wyss and Todd Boehly are at the front of the queue to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.
The Swiss and American billionaires are heading up a consortium planning to purchase the west London club from the Russian oligarch who put the club up for sale after 19 years at the helm.
Wyss has claimed that Abramovich has offered him the opportunity to purchase the west London club, amid the Russian’s decision to step back from the day-to-day running of the club.
