‘He has done nothing’ – UK makes fresh Roman Abramovich sanction decision after MP claims he should not be allowed to own Chelsea
According to reports in England, Chelsea will not feel financial impact even if owner Roman Abramovich is placed on the UK Russia sanctions list.
The Blues owner was named by Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran among the list of Russians she believes should have their assets frozen and confistaced.
However, as per Sun Sport, this will not cause ‘immediate problems’ for Chelsea.
The report states: “So far there are no signs of that taking place, and sources close to Abramovich insist he has done nothing that would make him liable to sanctions.
“But even were it to happen, it is understood to be unlikely there would be ANY impact on Chelsea – at least in the short term.”
Back in 2018, Abramovich’s ‘golden visa’ was not renewed and he has hardly been in the United Kingdom since, having to watch Chelsea in finals abroad such as in Porto last year and Abu Dhabi in February.
