As the season draws to a close, Chelsea's future is becoming clear. At 1 a.m. Beijing time on May 6, Chelsea issued an announcement, 55-year-old Abu said he did not need the team to repay the £1.6 billion debt, and the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea would be donated to charity, and not a penny would flow into his pocket.
Chelsea in the 21/22 season went high and low, the Premier League table trailed Manchester City by 17 points and there was no hope of winning the title, the League Cup final lost to Liverpool in the second place, the Champions League quarterfinals were eliminated by Real Madrid, leaving only one FA Cup to fight for, almost all four were empty.
However, Chelsea are under greater financial pressure on the sidelines than the regression at the competitive level. With Russia's billionaire Abramovich sanctioned, he must sell Chelsea by 31 May or the team will most likely be expelled from the Premier League.
According to the Times, the sale of Chelsea has been slow due to fears of Abu driving up prices at the last minute and demanding that bidders pay off debts of up to 1.6 billion pounds, and the 117-year-old giant team has a confused future.
At the crucial moment, Abu stepped forward to escort Chelsea, and he issued an announcement. First, Abu said he didn't need Chelsea to repay any loans, £1.6 billion he was willing to give to Chelsea.
Secondly, Abu has always demanded that all bidders must make a commitment to work to maintain Chelsea's current position as a giant and to maintain investment in the construction of the first team, women's team, youth team and new stadium.
Third, Abu said chelsea's proceeds from the auction would be donated to charity, with no change in the original intention and no profits. The aim is simply to entrust Chelsea to a reliable, ambitious owner who genuinely loves the club.
Seeing this, many fans said that Abu was too helpless, and Chelsea, which had been painstakingly operating for nearly 20 years, now had to give it to others. And Abu is a true love of Chelsea and has been thinking about the future of the team until the last moment. Some fans even bluntly said that Abu is the best boss in football today, and there is no one who hopes that Chelsea can erect a sculpture for Abu outside Stamford Bridge.
However, even with Abu so generous, Chelsea's future is still uncertain, Christensen is about to join Barca, Rudiger has also decided to go to Real Madrid next season, Marcos Alonso is also eager to leave, striker Lukaku hopes to return to Serie A, and the Blues' main squad has fallen apart.
Whoever eventually wins chelsea, the Blues will inevitably rebuild, and the Premier League 5 champions are likely to fall out of the giants.
