Chelsea may have found their new owner

Close to Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, Roman Abramovich was forced to put Chelsea Football Club up for sale because of the conflict between his country and Ukraine. Its acquisition could end up in the arms of Vivek Ranadivé, owner of the Sacramento Kings, American basketball franchise.

A king for Chelsea

Relayed by Sportico, the information reports that Mr. Ranadivé is about to make an offer for Roman Abramovich. Indian businessman whose fortune amounts to approximately 640 million Euros, he is ready to buy this “jewel” estimated at 3.6 billion Euros. 1.6 billion Euros less than the current value of the Kings.

On the track, Vivek Ranadivé joins another NBA boss. Owner of the Los Angeles Lakers of LeBron James and the late Kobe Bryant, Todd Boehly is also part of this list of extremely wealthy personalities who would like to make the Blues part of their assets. A package inside which we find Woody Johnson and Conor McGregor, star of MMA.

An ominous sign…

As one of the biggest clubs in Europe, Chelsea changed status during the Abramovich era. The Russian literally wrote a romance novel during his tenure at the helm of the current Premier League third. With him, the reigning European champions notably won 2 Champions Leagues in 2012 and 2021. Tangible proof of the impact he had on this team, now Formula 1.

In other words, will Vivek Ranadivé be able to maintain Chelsea’s standing? When we see the current position of Sacramento in the NBA, we can be worried about the CFC. Champion in 1951, the former team of the famous Vlade Divac is 13th out of 15 in its conference (Western) with 24 wins for 43 losses.
