Chelsea are at a crossroads in their history. The London club, bought in 2003 by Roman Abramovich, is about to change owners. Indeed, the invasion of Ukraine by the Russia of Vladimir Putin, whose boss of the Blues is close, forced the latter to put the club up for sale. The businessman is under sanctions from Great Britain.
Two new candidates
Candidates for the takeover of the last European champion do not miss. Indeed, according to information from ESPN, Woody Johnson would have positioned himself. The latter owns the New York Jets football franchise and is said to be a big Chelsea fan since he served as US Ambassador to London. Woody Johnson would have even already transmitted an offer of more than 5 billion euros.
The American businessman would not be the only one interested since a private consortium from Saudi Arabia would also have declared itself a candidate for the takeover, as confirmed by Goal, without specifying their identity.
