Mohamed Al Khereiji's fellow countryman Khalid Al Khudair has liked tweets linking the Saudi Media Consortium to Chelsea as the deadline for entering bids for the club approaches.
Roman Abramovich had initially given the green light for the sale, with the deadline reportedly set for this Tuesday. The UK government's decision to impose sanctions on him that mean he cannot benefit from the sale of the club have confused matters somewhat, however.
British businessman Nick Candy and a Todd Boehly consortium had been the two early front runners in this takeover, while the Saudi Media group have also been linked with a bid.
