Chelsea FC fans can now have a rest of mind as the club owner Roman Abramovich has reportedly struck a deal with the UK Government to sell the club.
According to The Daily Telegraph, “the Russian oligarch was finally able to get through to Parliament and will get to offload the club amid the many sanctions imposed to him over the last two weeks. Abramovich has been signalled as one of the many Russian oligarchs with ties to president Vladimir Putin. This report confirmed that Abramovich instructed The Raine Group – the merchant bank who is currently overseeing the sale – to keep the process going and finding an ideal buyer in order to complete the takeover.”
This report added that “Abramovich and Raine representatives had a long meeting with the government that got them to agree on a different usage of the funds raised by the sale. The potential buyer also has to agree to these terms, this deal will need authorization from Prime Minister Boris Johnson himself. It is still unclear what the funds will beused for but chances are that the money collected from this sale will go to aid for all Unrainian families affected by the Russian invasion to their country. There is a set deadline for next week’s Tuesday as Abramovich is widely expecting the potential buyer to come forward and complete a quick sale.”
