For Chelsea, there is no desire for anything else this season except for an FA Cup title to compete for. The whole team, including head coach Tuchel, is praying that this damn season will come to an end soon. But now it seems that even at the end of the season, the Blues will not be less worried. Because in the case of Abu's delay in selling Chelsea, Chelsea is likely to be directly expelled from the Premier League.
According to British media reports, Abu has come up with the latest terms for the sale of Chelsea, which is to ask buyers to repay £1.6 billion in debt for him. This request was difficult for all potential buyers to accept, and the negotiations reached an impasse. It is reported that the £1.6 billion claim belongs to an international credit company and is inextricably linked to Abu. The British now suspect that the debt is Abu's trick, and the £1.6 billion will eventually fall into his hands.
Prior to this, the British side allowed Abu to sell Chelsea, but the sale could not belong to him. In other words, this is to give away the Blues who have painstakingly managed Abu and put a lot of effort into it. Abu agreed to this request, so the British side issued a temporary operating license to Chelsea, allowing them to play in all competitions normally. However, this permit is only valid until the 31st of this month. In other words, if the Blues still haven't been successfully sold this month, they could really be expelled from the Premier League next season.
Apparently, Abu's approach made the British "gentlemen" a little embarrassed and angry. They had all figured out how to spend the big sum of money from the sale of Chelsea, but Abu suddenly came up with a £1.6 billion debt, which surprised them. After all, the cost of acquiring Chelsea is only 300,000 pounds, and 1.6 billion accounts for more than half. How can this make the British side not annoyed.
In fact, on the 29th of last month, Sky Sports in the United Kingdom broke the news that Abu asked potential buyers to pay an additional 500 million pounds so that he could donate more of the proceeds from the sale of the club to charitable foundations. Although £500 million will not reach Abu, it will also increase the cost of acquiring Chelsea for potential buyers. As a result, there are only 3 buyers interested in acquiring Chelsea today, two of which are from the United States.
But in any case, Chelsea fans hope that the team will finally have a good home, after all, this is a disastrous result for a 117-year-old Premier League powerhouse team. After Abu took over, Chelsea became one of the most competitive teams in the Premier League and even in European football, and won the Champions League last season. If the eviction affects, it will be a disastrous result not only for Chelsea, but also for English football.
