Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has admitted he fears the sale of club could have an impact on negotiations with players who are out of contract in the summer.
Roman Abramovich confirmed on Wednesday that he is looking to sell the Blues after 19 years in charge - following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
A number of key Chelsea players are in the final months of their current deals, including captain Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
Ahead of Chelsea's trip to Burnley on Saturday, Tuchel said the club 'can't help it' if the sale process has a negative effect on contract talks.
