A list of Chelsea player wages has emerged online following Roman Abramovich’s decision to sell the club.
It was announced on Wednesday that billionaire owner Abramovich intended to sell in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The 55-year-old has already received offers and is looking to complete a transaction as soon as possible, with sanctions from UK parliament looming.
Chelsea are one of the wealthiest clubs in England as it stands and Abramovich’s funds have helped them recruit some top quality players.
