Manchester United and Manchester City Premier League rivals Chelsea have reportedly been offered to 86-year-old billionaire Hansjorg Wyss.
Under pressure to sell-up, Blues owner Roman Abramovich released a statement last Saturday that said he was “giving trustees of Chelsea’s charitable Foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC." However, he could now sell with Wyss admitting he's only interested in the purchasing of Chelsea as part of a consortium.
The asking price of the Stamford Bridge outfit is rumoured to be beyond the £2billion mark, with Chelsea supposedly owing Abramovich around £1.5billion. Wyss — who has a reported worth of £4.3billion and founded American medical device business Synthes USA — told Swiss newspaper Blick that Abramovich is eager to “get rid” of Chelsea in the near future.
