Chelsea could soon be following in the footsteps of Manchester City as the Blues flirt with the prospect of founding their own City Football Group-styled project.
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.
