Allianz, the German insurance giant, are reported to be one of several companies in contention to takeover as Chelsea's principal shirt sponsor from next season.
Chelsea's main shirt sponsor since the 2020-21 campaign has been telecommunications company Three, however that deal is set to expire at the end of the current campaign and reports suggest a renewal is unlikely.
Having to contend without European football next season, co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital will be hoping to secure a financially attractive deal after extensive spending on transfers since their purchasing of the club last year.
