Chelsea owner rejects offer to sell the club

Roman Abramovich has reportedly rejected an approach from Jim Ratcliffe to buy Chelsea.

Ratcliffe, estimated to be worth a staggering £20billion, came forward looking to take the Stamford Bridge club off Abramovich’s hands.

Chelsea’s Russian owner is currently embroiled in a UK visa clash with the Home Office, leading to him shelving plans for a new stadium in West London.

It means there’s been speculation that Abramovich could up sticks after buying Chelsea for £140million in 2003.

But it’s understood that he has no intention of abandoning the Blues, with the Russian also rejecting other offers, including one from China.
