Chelsea are about to face Luton in the FA Cup, but the end of the Roman empire is the top issue at Stamford Bridge

Abramovich is, apparently, eager to sell the club as soon as possible. And there are quite a few potential buyers

Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich is trying to sell all his villas in England, and he also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly, Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss told newspaper Blick.

"Three other people and I received an offer on Tuesday to buy Chelsea from Abramovich. I have to wait four to five days now. Abramovich is currently asking far too much.

"You know, Chelsea owe him £2 billion. But Chelsea has no money. As of today, we don't know the exact selling price.

"I can well imagine starting at Chelsea with partners. But I have to examine the general conditions first.

"But what I can already say: I'm definitely not doing something like this alone. If I buy Chelsea, then with a consortium consisting of six to seven investors."

Meanwhile, a visibly moved Thomas Tuchel asked reporters to stop asking him questions about the war in Ukraine, saying the situation is "horrible". He halted journalists after several questions of that kind at his pre-match press conference before Chelsea play Luton in the FA Cup.

"You have to stop! I am not a politician," Tuchel said and added:

"I can only repeat myself, and I feel bad to repeat it as I never experienced war. So even to talk about it, I feel bad.

"I'm very privileged as I sit here in peace. I do the best I can, but you have to stop asking me these questions as I have no answers for you."
