The sale of Chelsea Football Club by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich is going ahead, the BBC reports.
The club is to be bought for £4.25bn by a consortium led by US investor Todd Boehly.
The UK government said it had issued a license permitting the sale, because it was satisfied this would “not benefit Roman Abramovich or any other sanctioned individual.”
Abramovich was among the Russian businessmen sanctioned after Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine.
