Chelsea's sale deadline 'is extended until late next week' with four bidders looking to buy the Premier League club 'given extra time to table their final offers'... but further delays could break up Thomas Tuchel's squad

The four bidders looking to buy Chelsea Football Club have reportedly been granted extra time to put forward their final bids to buy the Premier League side.

The initial deadline for the shortlisted bidders to make improved offers was set for Monday but Sky News are reporting that has now been pushed back by 'a small number of days'.

Sky News are claiming that the four prospective buyers were told not long after Chelsea's 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid on Wednesday that they would need to submit binding takeover proposals towards the back half of next week.
