Beijing time on April 30 news, Britain’s richest man, Ineos (Ineos) chemical group chairman Tracliffe announced an official offer for Chelsea with a total price of 4.25 billion pounds. Among them, 2.5 billion pounds will be used for acquisitions, and 1.75 billion pounds will be invested in the future operation of the team.
At the same time, as the owner of Nice, Tracliffe also issued a statement through the official Nice, saying that INEOS Ineos Group confirmed that it has made an offer for the acquisition of Chelsea Football Club, but this does not mean that it will weaken the investment in Nice.
Tracliffe, born in 1952, is the chairman of the famous British chemical giant INEOS Chemical Group, and has the title of “British Chemical King”. In the 2022 “Forbes” list, he is the richest man in the UK with a worth of 16.3 billion pounds (about 135.42 billion yuan). Earlier, the Russian oligarch Abu said that he hoped that the three consortiums interested in bidding for the Blues would increase the price by 500 million pounds, but this caused dissatisfaction with the other party. Immediately, Tracliff, who had not participated in the bidding before, announced a formal offer for Chelsea.
As the British government sanctioned Russian tycoon Abramovich, he had to choose to sell Chelsea. Although several consortiums have made offers to the Blue Army, the two sides have not been able to negotiate the acquisition, and now Tracliffe is also involved in this acquisition battle.
It is reported that in 2019, Tracliffe was interested in acquiring Chelsea, but Abramovich rejected it at the time, and then he acquired the French club Nice. It is worth mentioning that Tracliffe is a Manchester United fan, but he once bombarded that he would not buy Manchester United because their business was sluggish, the signings were a mess, and they have been spending unjustly.
