Chelsea fans were thrilled after the UK government approved the sale of the club to a Todd Boehly-led consortium. According to Sky Sports , the Boehley-led consortium made a bid of around £4.25 billion to purchase the Premier League giants.
The Blues were in financial turmoil after former owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government following Russia's Ukraine invasion earlier this year. The sanctions meant the club was not allowed to get involved in any transfer activities or renew their existing players' contracts.
According to the aforementioned source, Abramovich will not receive any gains from the club's sale to the consortium, as he still has his UK assists frozen. However, the takeover news has rejuvenated Chelsea fans, who are excited with the new era the club is heading into following a successful spell under Abramovich. Here are some tweets in that regards:

According to Goal , Todd Boehly has a net worth of £3.6 billion. The American entrepreneur is also a co-owner of the baseball team Los Angeles Dodgers, NBA team LA Lakers and women's basketball team Los Angeles Sparks.
Boehly is now ready to dip into the Premier League with Chelsea as he looks to compete against the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool . The Blues finished third in the standings, behind City and the Reds.
