Ghanaian politician and business mogul, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, could look to offload Romelu Lukaku if he becomes the new owner of Chelsea.

Popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, Antwi Boasiako earlier made claims that he has plans to purchase the London-based club which has been put on sale by its Russian owner Roman Abramovic.

In an interview on Wontumi FM, the New Patriotic Party regional chairman said he would seek to get rid of the Belgium striker without blinking an eye.

What Antwi Boasiako said

"I want to go and buy Chelsea Football Club. I am interested in it. Those who buy clubs are not footballers, but business people. I am also a businessman. I'm into gold mining. Why can't we buy the club?" He quipped.
He continued: "I want to join the bidding. If I become the owner, I want the Brazilian player at Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr - and to sell off Romelu Lukaku. I will speak with Manchester United to see if I can also buy Cristiano Ronaldo for Chelsea. I'd also look at signing Lionel Messi.
"Roman Abramovich has done his best. It is now time for him to support a Ghanaian or an African to buy Chelsea." Chairman Wontumi ended.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that a Ghanaian politician and businessman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako has thrown himself into the fray as one of the people interested in buying Chelsea.

The business magnate revealed his intentions of bringing Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Vinicius Jnr together at the London club.

In an interview with Kumasi-based Radio station Wuntumi FM, the chairman of NPP in the Ashanti Region stated his intention of acquiring the club.
