Chelsea could face two massive issues on transfers thanks to Abramovich’s connections to the Russian government

Chelsea targets in doubts about future transfers due to Roman Abramovich Russian links

According to Daily Mail Online, future transfer targets could harbour doubts about moving to Chelsea thanks to Roman Abramovich‘s links to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. The English club’s efforts to strengthen the squad could be affected by this update.

Putin led Russia has started a war against Ukraine, which has put the Blues into trouble on several fronts. Abramovich wants to sell the club as a result due to the risk of being dealt with sanctions by the UK government. The London based side would be affected in such a case, which has prompted the club chief to take the current stance.

The Chelsea chief has also expressed that all net proceeds from the club’s sale of ownership would be offered to a charitable foundation for the victims of the war. However, a change of owners is far from a done job, and Thomas Tuchel’s side’s current transfer business could be affected by Abramovich’s ties to the Russian regime.

The West London club’s targets are hesitant to engage with them at this instant due to the above reasons. Moreover, rival clubs are also claimed to make life difficult for them when doing transfer market business. Talks over future moves could become challenging as a result ahead of the next season.

Sell first

It would be best for us if a sale is completed as soon as possible, taking into context the impact this could have on the club. After all, any transfers that we facilitate next summer are laid down in the months leading up to the window. Setbacks in that time could derail our chances to back Thomas Tuchel by getting the desired targets.

We have been linked with moves for the likes of Declan Rice from West Ham United, Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla’s Jules Kounde ahead of next term. While they have not expressed any concerns just yet, it would not be too much of a reach to say that the clubs could cause problems going by this information.

Abramovich has done a lot for the club and us, but his ties to Putin is something that cannot be overlooked, especially after what they did in Ukraine. So it is understandable for the players and other clubs to go down this route. A sale must be finalised as a result so that our future interests can be protected.

Time will give us an answer on how this situation will pan out in the coming days ahead of next summer. But we are hopeful that the business would not be affected, and a sale can be facilitated for the benefit of all parties.
