Chelsea 'pitched multi-year £60m shirt sponsorship deal to Saudi airline Riyadh Air' - which is owned by Newcastle majority owner PIF - and will only fly its first plane in 2025

Chelsea reportedly held talks with Saudi Arabia state airline Riyadh Air over becoming its main shirt sponsor, as the club's search for a replacement for Three continues.

The Blues' home and away kits have been blank so far this season, with their attempts to replace the mobile network facing legal challenges from the Premier League.

According to The Athletic, however, that could be set to change as Chelsea executives - including CEO Chris Jurasek - hosted Riyadh Air representatives at Stamford Bridge on Saturday for the Blues' 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
