Chelsea Football Club could go 'bankrupt' if the government were to impose sanctions on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, according to finance experts.
It was revealed in parliament that the government had privately named him as a person of interest in 2019, and have, therefore, been urged to seize or freeze Abramovich's assets in the UK given his links to the Russian states 'public association with corrupt activity and practices'.
Experts have speculated that Abramovich could demand to Chelsea that he is owed by the Premier League giants.
Kieran Maguire, a football finance lecturer at Liverpool University, claims Abramovich may use his ownership as an exertion of force against any threat of British government sanctions against him.
