Chelsea’s league status in JEOPARDY with fears that Abramovich could cause Boehly deal to COLLAPSE – latest updates

CHELSEA’S takeover seems to have taken a turn for the worse as there are now fears that a deal with Todd Boehly could COLLAPSE.

Boehly has been named as the preferred bidder for Chelsea despite a last-gasp £4billion bid from Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

And Boehly’s team were told they had been granted a “period of exclusivity” to discuss the final terms and conditions of a takeover package.

However Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich is reportedly “attempting to renege on his promise to write off a £1.6 billion debt”.

This is despite the 55-year-old saying he would NOT be asking for any loans to be repaid when he put the club up for sale.

Which could see any future deal between Boehly and the West London outfit fall through.

Or in a worst case scenario, Chelsea could LOSE their Premier League status.
