Roman Abramovich has put up Chelsea Football club for sale amidst Russia-Ukraine war that arose few days ago.
ESPN reported earlier on Wednesday, that the 55-year-old was willing to listen to offers for the club, and Abramovich confirmed the plans in a statement released on the club’s website.
“I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC. As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the club, the fans, the employees, as well as the club’s sponsors and partners,” the statement read in part.
Abramovich’s association with the Chelsea club team has been scrutinized as a result of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine few days ago.
Abromovich is demanding 4billion Euros for the club which he has put on sale.
