INDOSPORT.COM – The process of new ownership of the English Premier League club, Chelsea met a new chapter. Rumors emerged that the British Government would not give licenses for the sale of the Blues. As a result, Chelsea was on the verge of bankruptcy.
The news clearly shocked the public. The reason is, earlier this month the Blues officially announced that ownership of the team officially fell to a consortium from the United States, namely Todd Boehly.
“Chelsea Football Club confirms that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club,” a club statement read.
Although the Blues have announced Todd Boehly will be the new owner of Chelsea, in fact until now the news has not been realized.
Investigating an investigation, it seems that the British government has not given the green light regarding the sale of Chelsea to Todd Boehly.
Launching from Sky Sports, the British government is not sure about Roman Abramovich’s commitment, which is said to be giving up the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea to help victims of the Ukrainian war.
It is known that Chelsea’s sales money generated funds of around 2.5 billion pounds (Rp 44.7 trillion). The amount is predicted to be used by Abramovich for war victims.
Unfortunately, officials in the British Government are not convinced that Abramovich actually allocated the funds to sell Chelsea for humanitarian reasons.
“The takeover of Chelsea Football Club has been thrown into fresh doubt following the stalemate between owners Roman Abramovich and Whitehall over the terms of the deal,” the report said.
“People close to the discussions said ministers had not received the assurances they were seeking from Abramovich about the purpose of the £2.5 billion sale proceeds,” he added.
