Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss has claimed Roman Abramovich is prepared to sell Chelsea.
Wyss has claimed he has been offered the chance to join a consortium with "six or seven" other investors to buy Chelsea.
The 86-year-old, worth a reported £4.3bn, has admitted interest in purchasing the World Champions from Abramovich, but only in a consortium.
Russian-Israeli billionaire Abramovich has publicly expressed his desire to retain ownership of Chelsea, but that could prove close to impossible should the UK Government impose sanctions on the 55-year-old.
Wyss has admitted he will look into the details of any possible deal to buy Chelsea.
"Abramovich is trying to sell all his villas in England, he also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly," Wyss told Blick.
"I and three other people received an offer on Tuesday to buy Chelsea from Abramovich.
"I have to wait four to five days now. Abramovich is currently asking far too much. You know, Chelsea owe him £2 billion. But Chelsea has no money. As of today, we don't know the exact selling price."
