Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss has claimed that he is one of four people to have been offered the chance to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.
In an interview with Blick about Russia's invasion of Ukraine the 86-year-old said that he is interested but is "four or five days" from being in a clearer position. He would be unable to buy the club himself and would need to form a six or seven person consortium.
Wyss's fortune comes from the sale of a medical device company, Synthes, to Johnson and Johnson for about $20billion (£15billion) in 2012. Forbes describes Wyss as "one of the most philanthropic people in the world" and he has invested $2billion in charitable causes. His current worth is estimated to be around £3.8billion.
