According to reports, Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss says he has received an offer to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich alongside a group of several others.
Abramovich has come under increasing pressure over the past week following Russia’s attack on Ukraine, with Labour MP  Chris Bryant saying the Chelsea owner is terrified of facing sanction from the British government.

The Blues owner has already released a statement saying that trustees of Chelsea’s charitable foundation would take the “stewardship” of the club from him indefinitely.

However, Hansjorg Wyss has confirmed he is part of a group trying to buy the club from the Russian businessman.
Wyss is a Swiss-born businessman that currently resides in the U.S., having made his fortune as founder and former president and chairman of Synthes USA, a medical device manufacturer.
The 86-year-old has a reported net worth of over $5 billion and has been named one of “the most philanthropic people in the world” by Forbes.
