The Russian billionaire has been pushed into selling the Blues through geopolitical events with bidding emerging every day
A Saudi private consortium led by Saudi Media registered their interest yesterday to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich through Raine Group, a New York merchant bank that has been hired to find a buyer.
Sources with knowledge of the situation described at least 10 serious buyers, with many others holding an interest.
The sheer number of interested parties, which includes Todd Boehly and Hansjorg Wyss’s US-Swiss consortium and Turkish businessman Muhsin Bayrak, gives Abramovich some hope in claiming his highly ambitious £3 billion ($4bn) valuation.
