Time is starting to tick for Chelsea's next owner, whoever that might be. March 15 is the deadline for them to make their offer to buy the club from Roman Abramovich and over the next six days, we might see some billionaires scrambling to get their bids in.
The Russian has hired the Raine Group, an American merchant bank, to help oversee the sale and any interested party must submit their offer to them by next Tuesday. It is believed around 20 parties have expressed an interest but only a handful are deemed credible.
Abramovich is in a rush to sell, though, as he could be sanctioned by the British Government as soon as next week after Russia invaded Ukraine.
