An advisor to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich says the club's sale will not be rushed.
Joe Ravitch, the co-founder of investment bank Raine Group LLC, has been asked by the Premier League club to help find a buyer - with the asking price set at £3billion.
In a discussion with Reuters news agency, the broker outlined the desire to find a balance between securing a fair price and finding the “best steward" for Chelsea and its supporters.
“We are not going to rush anything," he said. “It is very important that Chelsea have the right owner to guide the club forward."
Reuters report on a source familiar with the sale that bids are expected over the next month before a preferred buyer is chosen. Already, it is said, a £2.5bn offer has been rejected.
Among the billionaires already tipped to try and take over the Blues are Todd Boehly and Hansjorg Wyss.
