All four shortlisted consortiums looking to buy Chelsea say their bids will be entirely funded by cash and that they will not load debt on to the club.
Steve Pagliuca's bid for the Blues will match the other three competing offers in having no debt, a source close to the Boston Celtics co-owner's consortium confirmed.
'We have been consistent throughout that this will be a credible and compelling bid,' said a source close to Pagliuca's bid team.
The four shortlisted consortiums must submit their final offers today to the Raine Group.
The New York merchant bank will then select a preferred bidder, with Chelsea's sale still expected to be completed in May.
