What was said?

“Abramovich is one of Putin’s closest advisers and friends,” Wyss said. Blick. “Like all the other oligarchs, he is also in a panic. Abramovich is trying to sell all his villas in England. He also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly. Me and three other people received an offer to buy Chelsea from Abramovich on Tuesday.

“I have to wait four to five days now. Abramovich is asking way too much right now. You know, Chelsea owe him £2 billion. But Chelsea have no money. That means whoever buys Chelsea would have to compensate Abramovich.
