Roman Abramovich remains as committed to Chelsea as ever despite reports that he is exploring the possibility of selling the club for more than £2 billion, sources at the club have told ESPN FC.
A report in the Sunday Times claimed Abramovich has enlisted Joe Ravitch from New York-based investment bank the Raine Group to advise on a strategic review after rejecting takeover bids from British chemicals tycoon Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Silver Lake Partners, a US private equity firm, earlier this year.
Raine advised Manchester City's owners on the sale of a minority stake to Chinese investors, and the Sunday Times reported that Abramovich rebuffed Ratcliffe and Silver Lake because he is holding out for a higher offer.
