British tycoon plans to make £2.5bn offer for Chelsea

British property developer Nick Candy hopes to submit a £2.5 billion bid to buy Chelsea by the end of the week.

The 49-year-old is a lifelong Blues supporter and is in talks with American investors about forming a consortium. He has plans to renovate the club’s stadium, Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea’s current owner Roman Abramovich has set a £3 billion price tag for the club. But given the Russian’s desire for a quick sale, Candy’s £2.5 billion bid ‘would be regarded as credible’. [Daily Mail]
