Chelsea owner Abramovich has been sanctioned by the British government, which not only has an impact on the sale of Chelsea, but may even interfere with the team’s pre-season preparations this summer, preventing Chelsea from going to the United States for warm-up matches.
According to Goal, although the current season is still in progress, the club has been considering preparations for next season in the past few weeks, and plans to travel to the United States for a series of pre-season warm-up games this summer. The opponents include Arsenal and another unnamed club, and the venue of the game is arranged in Las Vegas or Orlando.
But after Abramovich was sanctioned by the British government, his assets in the UK were frozen, resulting in a disruption to Chelsea’s cash flow. And wanting to hold preseason games in the United States requires a lot of organizing costs. At present, the UK government only allows Chelsea to spend up to £20,000 per game on travel, hotels and other related expenses, but even playing games in the UK, it is difficult for Chelsea to play games without being affected by such a small amount of money. Not to mention going to the U.S. to compete.
Chelsea signed the American international Pulisic in the summer of 2019. Since then, Chelsea has always hoped to go to the United States to play pre-season warm-up games and better develop the American market. However, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, Chelsea’s trip to the United States has been cancelled successively. Now that Abramovich has been sanctioned, I am afraid that Chelsea will still not be able to go to the United States for gold this summer.Return to Sohu, see more
