Russian-Ukrainian War: Buyer, Price Revealed As Abramovich Offers To Sell Chelsea

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has made an offer to Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss to sell the club for more than £2 billion.

Due to apparent links to President Vladimir Putin, the 55-year-old Russian businessman is in the limelight.

During his broadcast on Thursday, US President Joe Biden promised that the West will confiscate everything belonging to Russian oligarchs, even their residences.

Abramovich has strongly denied any links to the Russian President, but calls for his sanction keeps getting louder.

Wyss, who is reported to have a personal net worth of $5.8billion, says it is the Russian who is trying to engineer an auction, not the other way around.

Speaking to Swiss newspaper, Blick, the 85-year-old said: “Abramovich is one of Putin’s closest advisers and friends. Like all other oligarchs, he is also in a state of panic.

“Abramovich is trying to sell all his properties in England. He also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly. I and three other people received an offer on Tuesday to buy Chelsea from Abramovich.”

Wyss, however, said that the Russian billionaire businessman has placed the price for the club so high, adding that he has to wait to see what happens in the next four or five days.

“You know Chelsea owe him £2billion? But Chelsea has no money, which means that whoever buys Chelsea has to compensate Abramovich,” he added.
