Chelsea is one of the hottest purchase items in the world of the super wealthy, a potential list of owners keeps piling up as Roman Abramovich has put the club up for sale. The current Club World Cup champions are one of the most popular soccer teams in the world and is home to American Christian Pulisic.
To say that Chelsea would not be attractive to big time owners is an understatement. Now according to Sportico, the club is of interest to Vivek Ranadive, the owner of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. Ranadive has been involved in the NBA since 2013.
Another group interested in Chelsea is a Saudi private consortium led by Saudi Media. It would be the second sale of a Premier League club to a Saudi consortium in the recent months as Newcastle United was purchased by one in October.
