Chelsea Football Club may be acquired by a consortium formed by businessmen Nick Candy, Jonathan Goldstein, Todd Bowley and Hansjörg Wyss, R-Sport reports.
It is noted that Candy has been a Chelsea fan since childhood and is engaged in real estate in London. Previously, a separate offer to buy the club basement Bowley and Wyss, but it was not accepted. Candy has also been in talks with British Airways chairman Martin Broughton, a Chelsea fan.
Also, the Ricketts family, which has owned the Chicago Cubs baseball club since 2009, has shown interest in buying the club, investor Ken Griffin. According to the source, they intend to make their offer on Friday.
Earlier, the English Premier League (EPL) removed Russian businessman Roman Abramovich, who has owned the club since 2003, from the management of Chelsea. The British newspaper The Times reported that the club's bank accounts were frozen despite a valid operating license issued by the UK government.
The Premier League decided the fate of Abramovich
On March 10, the United Kingdom authorities imposed sanctions against seven Russian businessmen, including Abramovich. Those sanctioned will be banned from entering the UK, and their assets in the country will be frozen. Earlier, Abramovich handed over the management of Chelsea to the trustees of a charitable foundation.
