London, June 9(TNS): Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich has no interest in selling the club, following reports that an offer on Saturday from British businessman Jim Radcliffe to buy the club has been rejected.
Last month different British media sources reported that the Russian billionaire remains fully committed to Chelsea despite the fact that plans to redevelop Stamford Bridge have been put on hold.
The 51-year-old missed Chelsea’s FA Cup final victory over Manchester United in May.
He was granted an Israeli citizenship – meaning he can now visit Britain for up to six months a year but will have to apply for a work permit if he wishes to do business here.
