Chelsea’s transition

Chelsea ownership officially changed in May, bringing an end to a memorable reign of Roman Abramovic.

American-led consortium, spearheaded by businessman Boehly purchased the club from Abramovic, who put it up for sale in early March following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The sale process took some time and faced uncertainty mainly because of the sanctions imposed on the Russian billionaire.
