Roman Abramovich is seriously considering the sale of Chelsea with the Russian-Ukraine crisis taking a new turn

Due to his close friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Roman Abramovich is facing a lot of heat in the UK. The Russian oligarch has been the owner of Chelsea for the last 19 years. However, it appears that his time at the Stamford Bridge is coming to an end.

The British Parliament wants to ban Abramovich from the UK due to his close ties with the Kremlin. Due to this uncertainty, the club owner is now seriously considering the possibility of selling his assets that also include Chelsea FC.
