jim-ratcliffe-offered-scandalous-figure-to-buy-chelsea-fc

The sale of Chelsea FC by Roman Abramovich seemed to be disputed by three major American companies today. However, billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has rung the bell at Stamford Bridge to present himself as a candidate at the last minute with an escalating bid that exceeds five billion dollars.

However, the offer by the giant of the chemical industry has arrived late, since the applications have closed a couple of days ago. That is to say, the last decision is up to the Russian tycoon to accept if the British enter among the candidates.

“We are the only British offer. Our motives are simply to try to create a very good club in London and it is a British offer, for a British club. We are not for profit because we make our money in other ways”, Jim Ratcliffe outlined in his statement.

The billionaire of 69 years presented its offer to the Raine Group, the commercial bank that is carrying out the sale process, this Friday. Of course, all this despite knowing that the list of candidates is currently closed.

Likewise, said offer would include a large investment of two billion dollars over the next 10 years to further develop Stamford Bridge and the club’s other structures. In addition, we must also add the valuation of the club that the new owners have to assume, which has an approximate value of almost three billion dollars.

It is important to highlight that Ratcliffe is currently very close to the deporta, since he is the owner of Nice in Ligue 1 and is one of the main partners of the Mercedes AMG-Petronas Formula 1 team since the year 2020.

Not forgetting that he also owns INEOS, which is a British multinational chemical company based in London and is currently the fourth largest chemical company in the world.

In this way, the race is open to find out who will be the new owner of the Chelsea FC and the new leader of an era of one of the club’s biggest teams. The final decision will be made by Roman Abramovich and everything will be known in the coming weeks.
