Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is selling the club

Four parties believed to be interested in buying Chelsea from Roman Abramovich have been revealed.

The Russian, 55, confirmed on Wednesday that he is looking to sell the club he bought in 2003 for £140m.

The price Abramovich will ask to convince him to leave the Blues is significantly higher than what he paid to buy the club.

And details of how the process progressed have now come to light.

It happened after the Blues survived a FA Cup scared to claim their place in the next round of the FA Cup as they won 3-2 over Championship side Luton Town.
