Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge
Several parties have expressed interest in buying Chelsea from Roman Abramovich

Aethel Partners is the latest group to say they have made a bid.

The London firm is going to put in 50 million dollars immediately.

The club faces financial issues and needs funding to help it.

Several parties have expressed their interest in buying the club.

He was sanctioned by the UK government for trying to sell the club.

The move was made in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which was believed to have ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Barbara Charone, a PR executive, and Daniel Finkelstein, a British journalist, are part of a group that is trying to buy Chelsea.

Charone has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry.

She has been a season- ticket holder for many years.

Finkelstein is a lifelong fan of the club. He was a member of the House of Lords.

The bid believes that having two prominent match-going Chelsea figures as part of their team provides an authenticity before the Friday deadline for bids to be received.

More than 20 parties are interested in buying the club.

Nick Candy, a British businessman, said earlier this month that he was exploring a number of options for a potential bid.

The co-owner of Tifosy, a mergers and acquisitions company for the football sector, announced on Wednesday that he is working with Candy on his bid.

The family that owns the Chicago Cubs said they are leading a group of investors in a bid, as well as London Olympics chief Coe.

Last week, his British assets were frozen and he was disqualified from being a director of the club.

The UK government granted a special licence to the Blues.

Existing season ticket holders can attend matches, but a new licence will need to be issued for the club to be sold.

The club has won 21 trophies under the ownership ofAbramovich.

Who else has announced their bid to buy Chelsea?

Only a few interested parties have come forward so far.

Todd Boehly and Hansjorg Wyss.

Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss and US businessman Todd Boehly are trying to take over the club.

Wyss told Swiss newspaper Blick that he had been offered the chance to buy the club.

The 86-year-old is worth an estimated $4 billion.

Boehly, who is a part owner of Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers, was previously linked with a takeover of Chelsea.

Bayrak is named Muhsin.

Bayrak says he will fly the Turkish flag in London soon, after he launched a bid to buy the club.

Bayrak is the chairman of AB Grup Holding, which he founded in 1999 and has investments in a number of sectors.

Bayrak's lawyer was going to be in London for talks last week, but sources close to Bayrak said he was determined to buy the club.

Others.

Other parties reported to be interested include New York Jets owner Woody Johnson and a Saudi Arabia-based consortium.

Jim Ratcliffe, a British billionaire who owns Ineos and Nice, has shown interest in buying a club, but he doesn't see it as good value.
