Breaking News: Roman Abramovich could get Chelsea back"? The Chelsea owner reviewed the conversation between him and Roman Abramovich in Deal about getting Chelsea back.

Todd Boehly took over the course of Chelsea’s ownership two years ago. According to reports from close sources, Chelsea have been rumored to return to their former owner, as more decisions are yet to be finalized.

Former Russia striker Dmitry Bulykin has told Chelsea they need to get Roman Abramovich back to the club.

According to him, the Blues can’t win another trophy unless they allow his countryman to buy back the club.

Peers have criticized the UK government for failing to agree a deal with the former Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, to spend £2.5 billion from his sale of the London football club.

Members of the House of Lords’ European Affairs Committee have described ministers’ failure to spend the money on Ukraine as “incomprehensible,” nearly two years after the sale was agreed.

The government agreed to allow Abramovich to sell Chelsea in 2022 even though he was under sanctions as one of seven Russian “pro-Kremlin” oligarchs, on the condition that the money was spent on helping victims of the war in Ukraine.

However, the money remains locked in a UK bank account amid a row between Abramovich and the government as to how exactly the money can be spent.

Peter Ricketts, David Cameron’s former national security adviser and the chair of the committee, said: “It is incomprehensible that two years after the deal between Abramovich and the government was struck, it has still not been implemented.”

His report adds: “The unfulfilled promise made by Mr. Abramovich at the time of the sale of Chelsea FC reflects poorly on him and the government for not pushing for a more binding commitment.

“We urge the government to use all available legal levers to solve this impasse rapidly so that Ukraine can receive much-needed, promised, and long-overdue relief.”

The Foreign Office said on Tuesday: “The proceeds from the sale of Chelsea FC are frozen in a UK bank account while independent experts establish a foundation to manage and distribute the money.

“A license application will then need to be made to move the funds to the foundation.”

Abramovich completed his sale of the club in May 2022 to a consortium led by Todd Boehly and the US private equity firm Clearlake Capital.

Last year, the funds remained frozen in a bank account belonging to Abramovich’s company, Fordstam, amid a row over where the money should go.

People close to Abramovich said the agreement had been that the money should go to “all the victims of the conflict in Ukraine and its consequences,” while ministers were insisting it should be spent exclusively for humanitarian purposes in Ukraine.

Roman Abramovich was forced to sell Chelsea to American billionaires Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali two years ago after financial sanctions were imposed on him by the UK government for his alleged ties with the Russian government.

Bulykin told Odds.ru: “Which Russian could be sent to Chelsea to correct the situation? I would choose the owner.

“We need to bring Abramovich back, and then Chelsea will win one of the major trophies. But a return to the

 current realities is impossible, unfortunately.
