According to the Times, Britain's richest man and Manchester United fan Ratcliffe has offered £4 billion for Chelsea on Friday.
On Friday, the Times revealed that Abu had made a new request for a £500 million increase to three consortiums interested in bidding, which meant that the overall price of the acquisition of Chelsea would be as high as £3 billion, which made the three consortiums very dissatisfied.
Subsequently, the Times once again revealed that Ratcliffe, who had not previously participated in the bidding, had bid for 4 billion pounds, of which 1.75 billion pounds would be used to attract reinforcements and renovate the stadium.
In an interview with The Times, Ratcliffe said, "We made an offer in the morning and we were the only Uk bidder. Our idea was to build a really good club in London. We don't have the idea of making a profit because we can make money in other ways. ”
Speaking about his investment in sports, Ratcliffe once said, "This kind of investment is an investment for competitive success, not for the sake of making money." If you want to make money, don't invest in football and sports, and continue to invest in chemicals. ”
Rattleeve, whose net worth £21 billion, was named britain's richest man by The Times in 2018. Despite being a big Fan of Manchester United, he previously held Chelsea's season tickets.
In 2019, the media revealed that Ratcliffe was interested in acquiring Chelsea, but Abu refused. Later, Ratcliffe bought Ligue 1 club Nice for £91 million.
As a Manchester United fan, Ratcliffe blasted Manchester United in 2019, "We didn't have the idea of buying Manchester United, their business was sluggish, they lacked a suitable manager, the reinforcements were a mess, and they have been spending money unjustly." ”
