‘Deal set to be finalised in London’ – Chelsea sale to have quick completion, process progressing

Blick have an update on the efforts of Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss to buy Chelsea.

Roman Abramovich last week announced he’ll be selling the Champions League winners, with calls for sanctions on the businessman after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Several potential buyers have been pushed forward and some have even been vocal about their intentions, including Wyss. The businessman made his intentions public at the earliest opportunity, and said he’d be looking for investors from the US to help him with the purchase.

Blick say ‘now it’s getting concrete’ with the group managed by Wyss having submitted their first offer. The amount of that offer is ‘secret’ but there’s clearly optimism that a deal for Chelsea can be done, and that it can be done quickly.

The Swiss newspaper sound very confident on behalf of Wyss’ efforts, and it’s even stated a ‘deal is set to be finalised in London soon’. The rush is down to Abramovich’s desire to sell Chelsea quickly, with the threat of sanctions still being present.

Now it’s down to the Blues’ current owner to decide if the offer presented is enough for him.
