With a fortune estimated by Forbes At nearly $6 billion, Tilman Fertitta is one of those who can afford just about anything in the world. Including a giant of world football. According to Sky Newsthe owner would have inquired about the takeover of Chelsea Football Club, the winner of the last Champions League.
Also according to the British media, it is unclear whether the investor will file a takeover offer himself by the end of the week, or if he is in talks with others for a joint offer. Other big league leaders, including Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, are also believed to have their sights set on the English club.
We recall that the announcement of the sale of this legendary club is one of the consequences of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Owner since 2003, billionaire Roman Abramovich decided to sell it by insuring that was ” in the best interest of its supporters, its employees, as well as its sponsors and partners “. More or less close to Vladimir Putin, he is targeted by a battery of measures since the beginning of the conflict.
He is said to be hoping to make at least £3 billion from the sale of the West London club. A Saudi offer, for a slightly lower amount, would have just been put on the table.
