The English club Chelsea, whose previous owner was Roman Abramovich, is nearing the end of its sale after Abramovich had to sell the club due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, club owner Roman Abramovich was forced to sell a club whose eventual sale would have to be approved by the British government, which would assess that the money from the club’s sale would not be invested in the Russian economy or war financing.
According to Raine Bank, there are four options for selling the club, from which the bank should choose the most favorable one and present it to the government of Great Britain and the leadership of the Premier League.
There are four names in the race, and the first of them is Todd Bolly. The second candidate is the Ricketts family, the third is Martin Brotton, with managers David Blitzer and Josh Harris, and the fourth is Stephen Paljuka.
Of all the candidates to buy Chelsea, Steve Pagliuca, who also owns 55% of Atalanta, has the best chance of doing so. If he buys the London club, he will have to give up his share in Atalanta.
