The Chelsea sale has not been confirmed and remains at risk, according to a broadcaster

The future of Chelsea football has not yet been fully decided, and the sale of the club, which was on its way to American businessman Todd Boehle, may not take place. According to the information broadcast by the BBC on Monday (16), there is still no concrete guarantee that the value of the sale of the club will be transferred to some charities. Therefore, as long as the UK government is not sure of the destination of the amount, they will not authorize the sale.

The referees banned all assets and accounts of Russian Roman Abramovich, the former owner of the club. He was appointed as one of the oligarchs supporting the government of Vladimir Putin, his activities within the United Kingdom were suspended and he could not even enter England. As a result of this, the businessman was forced to sell Chelsea to another management group.

Abramovich has pledged to give away the amount that will be made from the sale of Chelsea, but he has not yet given guarantees that he will return the amount to charities. The UK government, for its part, wants to ensure that the entrepreneur does not have access to the money. Abramovich’s accounts were banned and prevented from making profits from British institutions.

This predicament directly affects the sale of Chelsea, whose future was already in the hands of Todd Buhle. The businessman has already taken the necessary steps and obtained permission from within the club to take control. However, final approval must be given by the UK government, which is still awaiting assurances that Abramovich will not benefit financially in the process.

While the situation is not specified, Chelsea have a special license to continue operating and the expiration date will be May 31. After that, the club can take completely different directions. Internally, the latest impasse involving the government is expected to be resolved so that the sale can be devoted to the new management group.

It is worth remembering that although Chelsea does not have a new leadership, he cannot conduct financial transactions. This already means the loss of defender Antonio Rudiger, who is due to be announced by Real Madrid in the coming weeks. The same path should be taken by Andreas Christensen, who is already speaking with Barcelona. The other players are eventually contracted and haven’t been able to renew yet.
