Roman Abramovich Puts Chelsea FC Up For Sale As Concerns Grow Over His Links To Russia Roman Abramovich Wednesday night confirmed that the British soccer team is up for sale for £3B, and that he is writing off the £1.5billion debt he is owed by the team. "I have always taken decisions with the club’s best interest at heart," he said in a statement. "In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the club … I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid." Abramovich has instructed American bank the Raine Group to handle the sale. He said net proceeds of any sale will be donated to the victims of the war in Ukraine. His reported links to the Russian regime could complicate finding a buyer. Sanctions are piling up by the day against the regime and its allies since it's ongoing invasion of Ukraine last week. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer challenged Boris Johnson in Parliament Wednesday, about why Abramovich has not yet been sanctioned, with the Prime Minister replying: "It is not appropriate to comment on individual cases." However, Abramovich will reportedly receive at least two firm offers for Chelsea by the end of this week. Russian forces are shelling residential areas in Ukrainian cities as the invasion enters its sixth day. https://www.keneci.com/read-more-hotfeed-on-keneci-channel#h.fjyfe0tdbhmp
