With the violent outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russian tycoon Abramovich immediately became the target of sanctions by the British government, forcing the Chelsea boss to sell the team in a hurry. According to local news reports, if the "oil king" does not succeed in selling the "Blues" this month, the team may be forced to withdraw from the Premier League, or even face a crisis of disintegration!
