Chelsea are in the process of looking for a new owner after the club’s current custodian, Roman Abramovich, announced his decision on sell the Blues earlier this week.

Less than 24 hours before Abramovich made his decision public, Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss revealed his intention to invest in the west London club.

The 86-year-old, however, had stressed he will not invest alone, after being given a chance to purchase the Champions League winners.

On Friday, Blick reported the ‘Swiss billionaire is confident about Chelsea’s purchase’. It was also explained the consortium led by Wyss and American businessman Todd Boehly have found ‘additional partners’, and they are already in negotiations with Abramovich.

Journalist Nicola Imfeld covered the aforementioned report and he took to Twitter to provide the fee demanded by the Russian billionaire.

According to Imfeld, Abramovich’s ‘desired price’ is £4bn, but this seems to be too high for the Swiss-American consortium. In fact, the latter’s ‘offer will be much lower’.

The journalist adds the consortium are ‘preparing an offer over the weekend’ and ‘believe’ that Abramovich, who faces a threat of sanctions in the UK, is aware that time is running out for him.

Imfeld doesn’t provide the details of the ‘offer’ the Swiss-American consortium are willing to make to buy Chelsea.
