R.Abramovich started considering the sale of "Chelsea"

London's "Chelsea" team fans may have to get used to a new club symbol.

"Bloomberg" reports that the owner of the "Blues" team, Roman Abramovich, has started considering stepping down.

Fifteen years ago, the Russian who bought the team in the English capital for "only" 140 million pounds sterling would like to earn much more.

In the past, R. Abramovich, who rejected the 2 billion pound sterling offer from the richest man in England, Jim Ratcliffe, would now ask for 3 billion.

According to the press, the main reasons for the sale are visa problems and growing concerns about how US sanctions will affect wealthy Russians.

The "Chelsea" team planned to start the 1 billion pound worth "Stamford Bridge" stadium reconstruction, but due to the "unfavorable investment atmosphere" has so far decided to wait.
