Overcoming MU, Chelsea became the most expensive club in world sports history
Because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Roman Abramovich was frozen all his assets by the British government and stripped of ownership of Chelsea. The Russian billionaire was forced to sell the Blues to save the team. Abramovich values Chelsea at £3 billion.
The largest media group in the Middle East, Saudi Media wants to buy the West London team for £2.7 billion. British real estate magnate, Nick Candy is willing to spend £ 2.5 billion with his partners.

Whether it is 2.7 or 2.5 billion pounds, Chelsea also set a record when becoming the club sold for the highest price in the history of world sports. If you don’t include the Stamford Bridge team, below is a ranking of the top 10 most expensive takeovers ever.
| Places | Team name | Sport | Price (unit: table) |
|---|---|---|---|
| first | Carolina Panthers | Rugby | 1.76 billion won |
| 2 | Houston Rockets | Basketball | 1.68 billion won |
| 3 | Los Angeles Clippers | Basketball | 1.53 billion won |
| 3 | Los Angeles Dodgers | Baseball | 1.53 billion won |

The 2 sports with the most participation in the above list are rugby and baseball (3 teams each). Football and hockey, each subject has only one club.
The Carolina Panthers lead the charts. In 2018, American billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper spent up to 1.76 billion pounds to complete a deal to buy a rugby team based in Charlotte, Northern California, USA. This figure is still 1.24 billion pounds less than the price of 3 billion pounds that Abramovich offered to sell Chelsea.
MU – the only representative of the king sport in 5th place. In 2005, the Glazer family spent 790 million pounds to take over the “Red Devils”. At current exchange rates, this equates to £1.15 billion.
