It seemed that the sale of Chelsea was over, that everything was agreed, but the deal between Roman Abramovich and the Hollywood mogul, billionaire and owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Todd Boli, can very easily fail.

According to Sky reporter Mark Kleinman, The "heavy" deal of 5,2 billion dollars threatens to fall apart due to the extremely illogical move of the current owner of the club, Roman Abramovich.

The sale of Chelsea, agreed in principle, could fail due to "lack of consensus with the club to continue the sale process", the Ministry of Sports fears, and reports "BBC".

"If no agreement is reached, Chelsea would be in big trouble because they would be threatened with expulsion from certain club competitions."Sky".

Citing sources in the UK government, the BBC reports that all the alarms have been raised when it comes to completing the Chelsea sale process and that the whole procedure could be terminated if the deadlines are not met.

Revealed: The 4.25 XNUMXbn takeover of Chelsea FC has been thrown into fresh doubt amid “concerns” in Whitehall about assurances being provided by the Roman Abramovich. A failure to secure the license needed to expedite the sale by the end of May could be disastrous. More soon.

Obviously there is still room for agreement, but given the deadlines before the team from London, it is clear that the "blues" are facing an extremely stormy summer.

Chelsea agreed the terms of the sale with the consortium led by Ted Bolly, but now there are serious doubts that Abramovich allegedly refuses to agree on the details of the sale.

The government's license, according to which Chelsea has been operating since Abramovich was sanctioned, expires on May 31., and in order for the sale to be completed, it must be approved by the Government and the Football Association, which is a time-consuming process. A time that Chelsea is almost gone.

The government, for its part, has a problem with licensing due to its "complicated ownership structure", which further complicates the што 1,6 billion debt to Abramovich. From the very beginning of the sale process of the club, and in the announcement for the sale of the club, Abramovich announced that he will give all the money (4,25 billion pounds) for humanitarian purposes, but the debt that Chelsea owes to him is not mentioned.

- Two items must be resolved - where and how the money from the sale will flow and what are the guarantees that the Government will receive that the money goes to humanitarian purposes. Although he said publicly that he would give the money to charity, Abramovich did not give any legal guarantees for that, nor did he legally undertake to do so - says a BBC source.

In any case, there are two deadlines that must be met - the license expiration date and the beginning of June, when the deadline for the Premier League to issue licenses to clubs expires.
