Roman Abramovich Will Only Sell Chelsea Under Certain Conditions

Roman Abramovich wants Chelsea to remain successful after he's sold the club, and that's why he's been very particular about who to sell to.

Abramovich is obviously trying to repay the love the fans have for him by selling to the right person, or people, to take the team forward after he's left.

Even in the past year he has spent around £106 million, although most of that was just on Romelu Lukaku, with the rest the loan price for Saul Niguez.

The 55-year-old was also originally going be building a new stadium for the Blues, but ended that project when his UK citizenship application was denied in 2018.

Investment into a new stadium, or the development of Stamford Bridge, is also on the criteria for any new owner, with the Russian reportedly not in a rush to sell.

With the Premier League also looking into adding human rights record to their 'fit and proper persons test', it is thought to rule out any buyers from Saudi Arabia or China.
