MOSCOW, Mar 1 Russian businessman Roman Abramovich to receive offers to sell football club Chelsea until the end of this week, according to the British newspaper The Telegraph. On February 26, Abramovich handed over the management of Chelsea to the trustees of the London team's charitable foundation in connection with sanctions against the backdrop of worsening Russian-Ukrainian relations. Despite the transfer of management of the club, he remains the owner of the Blues. It is noted that three potential buyers intend to make offers. It is reported that the Russian billionaire may consider selling the club for the first time under pressure from imminent sanctions. Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003 for about £140 million from Englishman Ken Bates. In 2012, the London club won the Champions League for the first time in its history, and already in 2021 it was able to repeat the success, once again becoming the best club in Europe. Under Abramovich, Chelsea won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup five times and the Europa League twice (2013 and 2019).
