The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to affect the wider world and sport has not escaped its reach. Russian teams and athletes are facing disqualification from tournaments and competitions and now Chelsea are facing potentially huge ramifications.
Arsenal’s west London rivals are facing the possibility of seeing their club sold in the coming days. Roman Abramovich is willing to listen to offers for Chelsea. Swiss business tycoon Hansjoerg Wyss has claimed that Abramovich has sounded out interest in buying the Blues and as reported by football.london, talks are ongoing between the pair.
There remains much speculation about what this would mean for Chelsea. However, the club’s accounts ending June 2021 showed a loss of £145.6m after tax and that the club owed the Abramovich-controlled parent company Fordstam a staggering £1.514bn.
