that Abramovich should be stripped of his Western assets including Chelsea FC. Bryant obtained a secret 2019 government document that spoke about Abramovich and “his links to the Russian state and his public association with corrupt activity and practices.”
“Surely Mr. Abramovich should no longer be able to own a football club in this country,” Bryant said in Parliament. “Surely we should be looking at seizing some of his assets, including his 150-million pound home.”that there were a number of sports investors and private equity firms that were interested in buying Chelsea FC if Abramovich did decide to sell the team. In 2021, Forbes valued Chelsea at $3.

The team has also won two Europa League titles and this month won the FIFA Club World Cup. Chelsea, which has also won the Premier League five times since Abramovich took over, sits third in the Premier League table.
