Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Russian billionaire, Roman Abramovich is demanding that Chelsea\u2019s new owners continue to invest in the Blues squad and pledge to redevelop Stamford Bridge, Sky Sports reports.<\/p>\n

Abramovich had announced that he had put Chelsea up for sale, insisting that the decision is in Chelsea\u2019s \u2018best interest\u2019.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old has decided to sell Chelsea after the threat of sanctions from the UK Government.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understood that Abramovich, who bought Chelsea for \u00a3140 million back in 2003, has set a \u00a33 billion asking price.<\/p>\n

Abramovich is also keen to find a suitable buyer for Chelsea, as he wants the new owners to continue to replenish the squad with new signings, as well as oversee a revamp of the stadium.<\/p>\n

However, about ten parties are considering submitting an offer to buy Chelsea, with American investment bank The Raine Group tasked with handling the sale.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a Swiss-American consortium is leading the race to buy the west London club and the group are growing increasingly confident that a deal can be reached in the coming days.<\/p>\n
