Roman Abramovich is selling Chelsea. In fact, the Russian oligarch was forced to put up the Blues for sale after an English invasion on Russian sport workers and athletes of any kind. But even thou he is forced to sell doesn’t mean he will sell it to the first person who comes in with the money. In fact, Abramovich will do exactly what Mike Ashley, a former Newcastle owner did, he will seek further guaranties from anyone who comes up with the asked amount of money. The guaranties he is looking for is that his successor will continue to provide enough money to keep Chelsea compatible in England and the Champions League. Abramovich is deeply concerned by his image and legacy at Chelsea, as has been made evident by the number of carefully choreographed statements released on his behalf over the last week.Kante reveals Chelsea players weren’t prepared for the news of Abramovich’s exitAnd the Russian will have a tough task, because, according to ESPN sports, his decision to sell Chelsea has led to more than 300 expressions of interest to Raine Group — the New York merchant bank hired by Abramovich to find a buyer – and at least 10 are regarded as credible parties. And one of them is Turkish businessmen Mushin Bayrak, the chairman of Istanbul-based investment company AB Group Holdings, who have many of their investments in cryptocurrency. Roman Abramovich has actually flown to Turkey as he aims to finalise the sale of Chelsea, according to a MailOnline investigation. The investigation has discovered a private jet owned by the Blues owner made a trip to Turkey on Wednesday, potentially to discuss terms with wealthy Turkish businessman Muhsin Bayrak. And contrary to any serious buyer, who usually avoids any publicity before the deal is actually struck, the Turk already announced he is trying to buy Chelsea. “We are negotiating the terms of the purchase of Chelsea with Roman Abramovich’s lawyers. We are in the negotiation phase for the signatures. We will fly the Turkish flag in London soon. Our lawyers and Roman Abramovich’s lawyers have been in touch since the first day Chelsea entered the sales process. We are planning to sign soon” said Bayrak.Who are the potential buyers of Chelsea: A season ticket holder and the co-owner of the LA DodgersAnd while the club will be sold fast, the players and the manager are trying to block out the uncertain future which awaits them and prepare for the Premier League match against always unpleasant Burnley. The Blues need a win in order to decrease the 10 point lead with Liverpool (not to mention that Manchester United is only three points away) while Burnley is in a fierce relegation fight. And Tuchel has in mind the unexpected 1-1 draw at Stamford Bride in the first part of the season.“The owner is selling the club. He’s selling a well-structured, top organisation. Right now, I don’t see why we should be in fear or concerned. This club is well placed, well organised, functional. We are in a good place. We have the spirit back, the quality back. We have the attitude right in the last matches and we have players back from injury. In the first game, we were punished in the end with a very typical Burnley goal which we could not defend. That’s more or less the story. Performance wise, very happy. Results wise, we are looking for a better outcome” said Tuchel.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 28Saturday15:30: (1.87) Leicester (3.60) Leeds (4.20)18:00: (2.45) Aston Villa (3.30) Southampton (2.95)18:00: (7.50) Burnley (4.10) Chelsea (1.48)18:00: (2.70) Newcastle (3.05) Brighton (2.80)18:00: (2.90) Norwich (3.05) Brentford (2.60)18:00: (2.35) Wolverhampton (2.95) Crystal Palace (3.50)20:30: (1.32) Liverpool (5.50) West Ham (9.00)Sunday17:00: (6.00) Watford (3.80) Arsenal (1.60)19:30: (1.40) Man.City (4.50) Man.Utd.
