The London Football Club Chelsea agreed on the conditions for the acquisition of the club by the consortium of the American businessman Todd Boeli, the club statement said.

It is noted that out of the total investment of 2.5 billion pounds, sterling will be aimed at the purchase of club shares. These income will be transferred to a frozen bank account in the UK with the intention to sacrifice 100% for charitable goals, as Roman Abramovich previously stated. To transfer funds from a frozen bank account in the UK, the approval of the Government of Great Britain will be required. In addition, 1.75 billion pounds will invest new owners in the development of the club. It is expected that the transaction will be completed at the end of May.
Chelsea, businessman Roman Abramovich previously fell under sanctions imposed by many countries as a response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. In this regard, he was forced to put up the club for sale, losing all control over the transaction to the Government of Great Britain.
