Zurich: Swiss business tycoon Hansorg Weiss told Swiss newspaper Blick that he is considering buying Chelsea Football Club from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. “Abramovic is currently trying to sell all the properties he owns in England and also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly, “Weiss said in an interview published today, Wednesday. On Tuesday, me and three others received an offer to buy Chelsea from Abramovich. Weiss said he would have to wait four or five days to see how things went. “Abramovic is asking a lot in this moment, “he added. As you know, Chelsea owes him two billion pounds. But Chelsea have no money. That means anyone who wants to buy Chelsea must replace Abramovich.” The exact selling price is still unclear, Weiss said. He continued: “I am considering making an offer to the partners to buy Chelsea, but first I have to check the terms and conditions carefully. What I can actually say, however, is that I certainly would not do that on my own. If I buy Chelsea, it will be with a consortium of six or seven investors. ” (Reuters)
