Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich not interested in bargain bids for club

Chelsea have been impressive in the English Premier League this season under new manager - Frank Lampard. The Blues are currently fourth in the Premier League table behind leaders Liverpool, second-placed Leicester City and third-placed Manchester City. After the recent 2-1 loss to defending champions Manchester City, Chelsea gear up for a tough clash against Valencia in the Champions League this week. Ahead of that crucial tie, rumours were floating around in England which claimed that Chelsea FC's Russian owner - Roman Abramovich - is looking to sell the London-based club. Utter rubbish.

Abramovich has not attended a single home match since Spring 2018 due to political issues concerning his UK visa. However, Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck insists that Roman Abramovich has no intention of selling a majority stake in the London-based club in the coming months. The chairman added that Roman remains firmly invested in the day-to-day activities of the club and is in constant touch with the Director of football - Marina Granovskaia.
