Negotiations for the sale of Chelsea are ongoing and where the current European champions pass into the hands of the new owners, he will become the highest paid sports team in history.

The British government has frozen Roman Abramovich's assets, including everything he has at Chelsea.

So the Russian is forced to sell the club, but on the condition that the money does not go to him.

Initially, Abramovich was asking for 4.2 billion euros for Chelsea, but Athletic reports that the real price is 3.6 billion euros for what is expected to be sold.

This means that Chelsea will become the highest paid club in the history of the sport.

This is how the NBA team, Brooklyn Nets, will pass, for the property rights of which Joseph Tsai has paid more than 3 billion euros.

According to Athletic, numerous offers have already arrived from billionaires around the world and all exceed the amount Tsai paid for the Brooklyn Nets, so it is almost certain that Chelsea will become the most expensive club ever paid.

Currently the most expensive club in English football is Manchester United.

The Glazer family once paid the Red Devils just under a billion euros.
