Thomas Tuchel on his future at Chelsea

Real estate mogul Nick Candy has targeted one of his rival bidders as he hopes to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea owner Abramovich put the club up for sale after Russia invaded Ukraine. He has now been sanctioned by the UK government, leaving the club in crisis.

The sanctions mean the Blues have to operate on a reduced budget and are unable to buy or sell players, negotiate new contracts or sell any merchandise. And Candy has now explained why he won’t team up to form a super corporation with one of his rival bids for the club.
