Roman Abramovich and the UK Government have reportedly found an agreement to push ahead with the sale of Chelsea football club after he was sanctioned for his close ties with President Vladimir Putin following invasion of Ukraine.


Sportsmail revealed earlier on Friday that Downing Street had opened negotiations with the Russian billionaire's advisers over the terms of the sale, which he is eager to push through as quickly as possible.

It came after the club were handed a sporting licence to continue with their football-related activities, but any sale of the club was put on hold.

Now according to The Daily Telegraph, the two parties are striking a deal in a major boost to the west London outfit.

The Government regards a quick sale as the best outcome for Chelsea and its fans, but for that to happen Abramovich would have to agree to writing off loans of over £1.5billion without receiving any of the proceeds

The report is claiming Abramovich has instructed The Raine Group - the American bank that paused the sale after the Russian was sanctioned on Thursday due to his reported links to Vladimir Putin - to continue the process of completing a takeover.
