Next Chelsea owners set to make Marina Granovskaia offer amid £209m Roman Abramovich bid rumours

All of Chelsea’s potential next owners have reportedly made a decision to try and keep Blues director Marina Granovskaia at Stamford Bridge should they complete a takeover. Her future has been up in the air since Roman Abramovich announced his decision to sell the west London club.

Having been with the Blues since 2010, she has played a pivotal role in the club’s operations in the transfer market, whilst contract negotiations have also been one of the main assets of her remit since taking control. Whilst there is considerable doubt over her position at Stamford Bridge, it appears that the club’s potential new owners are attempting to convince her to stay.

According to The Athletic, each of the four parties who are eyeing a deal for the west London club have expressed a ‘wish’ to keep her at the club - a move that would be a major boost for Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window. It is suggested that whichever group runs out as victors in the race to acquire the club would make Granovskaia an offer to stay.
