Chelsea sale: UK government releases statement amid reports on bidders to take over club
The Department of Culture, Media and Sport have refuted claims that they are happy with the four remaining contenders hoping to buy Chelsea, citing that they have no role in selecting a preferred bidder in the process. Groups led by Todd Boehly, the Ricketts family, Martin Broughton and Stephen Pagliuca all remain in contention to takeover the club from Roman Abramovich with a first choice expected to emerge this week.
