“We are in constant contact with the club and the Premier League about issues raised by the sanctions and the license issued by the Treasury Department,” said a spokesman for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
,,It is now up to the club to apply for a changed license. I believe Chelsea have said they will and we will of course work with the club and the league to consider any operationally necessary changes.”
The British government decided to severely punish some oligarchs from Russia. “There can be no safe havens for those who supported Putin’s brutal attack on Ukraine,” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.
Chelsea have received numerous heavy penalties, but are allowed to continue playing football with a special license. That special license could hinder Chelsea in the coming months, including in attracting players and extending contracts.
Abramovich has owned Chelsea since 2003. The Russian billionaire announced last week that he wants to sell the club after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The wealthy owner hoped to prevent Chelsea from getting into trouble.
British businessman Nick Candy confirmed on Friday that he is still interested in taking over Chelsea.
