The sale of Chelsea to American businessman Todd Boehly is confirmed and should be completed shortly.
Earlier this week, the sale of Chelsea was threatened by Roman Abramovich. And for good reason, the Russian oligarch demanded to be reimbursed a debt amounting to 1.9 billion euros. According to The Times, the situation was resolved thanks to very rapid negotiations carried out by all the parties concerned. “The £1.6bn debt is owed by Chelsea parent company Fordstam to Camberley International Investments, registered in Jersey. But a source close to Abramovich insisted on Tuesday evening that the lawyers had reached a solution which should satisfy everyone’ wrote Tuesday evening The Times, while it is rumored that Roman Abramovich could recover a sum of around one billion euros.
A big bonus for Marina Granovskaia
Most importantly, of course, it doesn’t block the sale of Chelsea to Todd Boehly and so it won’t. According to the latest information from the Times, everything is falling into place for the change of ownership of the Blues. And those who have contributed to this decision-making process will be congratulated for their involvement. Faithful to Roman Abramovich, the general manager of the club Marina Granovskaia will remain in post at Chelsea. And according to information from the English media, she will receive a bonus of around 30 million euros for her involvement in the club’s sale process. President of Chelsea, Bruce Buck will also remain in office. And like Marina Granovskaia, he will also receive a big bonus when Chelsea are sold. In all, 60 million euros will be distributed between Granovskaia, Buck and the rest of the management team. A good way for Todd Boehly to put his new team in his pocket and to forget Roman Abramovich.
