In a few months, it will almost be 2 years since Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea for £2.34 billion. A sum he will never receive. Forced to sell the London club, which he had owned since the early 2000s and with whom he took everything, because of his relationship with Vladimir Putin, it had been decided with the Russian businessman that the sum be donated to Ukraine to help them. In vain. For the moment, incomprehension reigns in England since these funds are still “frozen” in an account, and therefore unusable. The Telegraphin a long paper, explains that many actors are trying to get the English government to react to finally realize Roman Abramovitch’s promise, namely to make the money from the sale of Chelsea available to all victims of the war in Ukraine.
And the British media has made other revelations in recent hours. According to Telegraph, a proposal to divert Roman Abramovich’s £2.34 billion Chelsea sale fund to Israel rather than Ukraine has been discussed. An idea rejected by the United Kingdom and Europe who insist that the money be spent only by Ukraine. But with the accounts frozen, several inside sources are trying to offer solutions. The English media also explains that it is currently impossible to know who proposed this idea: Abramovich himself or the country whose citizenship he obtained in 2018. People close to the Russian oligarch explain that it It was Israel that proposed this plan without Roman Abramovitch knowing about it.
