Ex-Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has sent a parting message to the club and its fans after finally selling the Premier League giants. The club’s former owner has now handed over power to Todd Boehly and his consortium.
Abramovich put the west Londoners up for sale on March 2 just days before his assets were frozen by the UK government for alleged links to Russian President Vladimir Putin and as a response to Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.
After a consortium led by LA Dodgers owner Todd Boehly beat out other offers and was finally given the green light for a £4.25 billion ($5.4 billion) takeover, Abramovich will finally leave English football after a near-two decade stint at Stamford Bridge with 21 trophies won since he took over in 2003.
