Current owner Roman Abramovich chose the next flight on Saturday Transfer of supervision of the club to a charitable foundation behind the club. On the one hand to protect the club from the negative publicity caused by the war in Ukraine – Abramovich has business ties with Vladimir Putin – and on the other hand to avoid the English state’s confiscation of his assets, including Chelsea.
However, fears of harsh penalties for the Russian oligarchs residing in England remained high. Much depends on what will be decided in political circles in the coming days. Therefore, Abramovich will consider selling. An interview with Hansjorg Wyss lights up the wick. The 86-year-old Swiss billionaire claimed he and three others received an offer on Tuesday to own the club where Romelu Lukaku works.

But the asking price is currently too high. If you buy the club, it will not be alone. However, through a consortium of six to seven investors.”

At the moment, US brokers and investment banks are basically cursing their opportunities (especially money). They are selling the club with many billionaires. If Abramovich is punished by the English state, he may not even be able to sell the club anymore.
Abramovich has not (yet) given an official order to find a new owner for the club, but he will consider all options. Basically trying to buy time.
