Chelsea for sale: from Jim Ratcliffe, president of Ineos, official offer of 5 billion euros

Jim Ratcliffe, president of Ineos, presented an official offer of around 5 billion euros for the purchase of Chelseaoffered for sale by Roman Abramovich following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. This was announced by the British company itself in an official statement specifying the figures: over half of the sum will be allocated to economic initiatives to support the victims of the war in Ukraine, the rest will be invested in the London club for the next 10 years. –

According to the always well-informed The Athletic, however, the consortium headed by co-owner of the Los Angeles Dogers, Todd Boehly, remains the highest-rated in the race to acquire Chelsea. And also from the Wall Street Journal and from Switzerland (source Blick) there are rumors that the Blues are about to pass into the hands of the duo formed by Boelhly and the Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wiss for an amount equal to about 4.7 billion euros. In short, Ineos’ offer would have arrived late.
