The soccer club Chelsea is for sale as Roman Abramovich, the Russian oligarch who owns the Premier League team, looks to shed assets.
In a statement on the Premier League club’s website, businessman Abramovich said it was an “incredibly difficult decision to make”, which “pains” him.
It follows days of speculation that the club would go up for sale.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has set a Friday deadline for interested buyers of the Premier League club to make offers after rejecting a £2.5 billion bid.
The Russian billionaire reportedly wants to sell the club as quickly as possible.
Billionaire Hansjorg Wyss had told Swiss newspaper Blick that Abramovich wanted “to get rid of Chelsea quickly” after the threat of sanctions was raised in Parliament.
