Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Roman Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale as pressure continues to mount on the Russian billionaire amid the crisis in Ukraine.

According to a report Give Me Sport, the 55-year-old is believed to be looking for a quick sale of the Blues and has slammed a £4 billion price tag on Chelsea.

The news comes after the Russian moved to step away from Chelsea following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine after handing stewardship of the club to the Trustees of the Chelsea Foundation.

Pressure has been mounting on Abramovich by Legislators in the UK for the billionaire’s assets to be seized since Russia declared war on Ukraine as many believe he is a strong ally to Vladimir Putin.
