Chelsea sale is making waves again! After Britain's richest man, Ratcliffe, raised his offer to £4.25 billion, there is still no progress! According to British media, the American consortium responsible for selling Chelsea, rennes Group, has rejected the offer of Britain's richest man. The specific reasons for the refusal are not yet known. However, judging from the statement of Ratcliffe's company, they will not give up on continuing to buy Chelsea. It is worth reminding that there are currently only 21 days left before the sale deadline for Chelsea, which also means that time is tight.
The U.S. consortium rejected a 4.25 billion offer
According to British media sources, Ratcliffe is a Manchester United fan. Since April, they have worked out a plan to acquire Chelsea, while also communicating and engaging with Chelsea's fan organisation. The offer was £4.25 billion, although the American Rennes Group rejected it after assessment. As for the specific reasons, Wren did not give a clear statement, they only said that they received quotations not only from Ratcliffe, but also from other acquirers. Presumably, there are a lot of consortiums looking to buy Chelsea right now.
However, although Ratcliffe was rejected, they still did not give up. It is understood that they will further communicate with rennes group and Chelsea fan organizations in the future, hoping to reach a consensus.
There are only 21 days left until the sale deadline
Previously, the uk gave Chelsea permission to sell on May 31. It also means chelsea have only 21 days left, which is still very tight. At present, the Premier League is also nearing the end of the season, Chelsea's last game of the season will be on May 22, and after this game, Chelsea's Premier League journey of the season is also completely over.
In addition, after Chelsea broke the cold in the last round, they were only 3 points ahead of fourth-place Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur by 5 points. This also suddenly increased the suspense of the Premier League's competition for four. If Chelsea miss this season's Champions League, it will be a huge impact. I also hope that Tuchel's team will persevere in the next few games and win a Place in the Champions League next season.
