The sale of Premier League club Chelsea is expected to be completed Monday after a 바카라final and definitive바카라 agreement was reached with the consortium fronted by Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly.
The club said Saturday that 바카라a final and definitive agreement was entered into last night바카라 to sell to the Boehly and Clearlake Capital consortium. The price is 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion) 바카라 the highest ever for a sports team.
바카라It is expected that the transaction will be completed on Monday,바카라 the club said.
The announcement followed a series of approvals allowing Roman Abramovich to sell after he was sanctioned over his links to Russian President Vladimir Putin after the invasion of Ukraine. Abramovich has owned the club for 19 years.
The British government, which had sanctioned Abramovich, approved the sale this week after ensuring that the Russian oligarch could not profit from it. The Premier League had earlier given its approval.
Chelsea has been operating under a government license since Abramovich바카라s assets were frozen in March and it expires Tuesday.
바카라It has been an honor of a lifetime to be a part of this club,바카라 Abramovich said in a statement posted on Chelsea바카라s website.
바카라My goal has been to ensure that the next owner has a mindset that will enable success for the men바카라s and women바카라s team, as well as the will and drive to continue developing other key aspects of the club, such as the academy and the vital work of Chelsea Foundation,바카라 he added.
The men바카라s team has won 21 trophies during Abramovich바카라s ownership. Chelsea fans have become accustomed to lavish spending under Abramovich, with more than $1 billion net spending on players.
Boehly바카라s group was chosen earlier this month after pledging to invest 1.75 billion pounds ($2.2 billion) in the teams and infrastructure.
The consortium also features Dodgers principal owner Mark Walter, Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, and funding from private equity firm Clearlake.
바카라I am pleased this search has now come to a successful conclusion,바카라 Abramovich said. 바카라As I hand over Chelsea to its new custodians, I would like to wish them the best of success, both on and off the pitch.바카라
