Mohamed Alkhereiji: Last News

Chelsea is heating up, as the process of selling the club Roman Abramovich has owned since 2003 continues.Potential buyers have until 9pm on Friday (March 18) to submit their final bids to buy the club to The Raine Group, the investment firm handling the takeover process.Several bidders have already gone public with their interest in the club and intentions to bid, including Chelsea fan Nick Candy and former US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson.Therefore, here is a ranking of the richest bidders hoping to buy Chelsea as the deadline looms.Ghanaian gold miner Bernard Antwi Boasiako confirmed his intention to bid to buy Chelsea earlier this week but may struggle to do so on his own.According to Football.London, Boasiako has a net worth of just £7.7million through his ventures in the gold and farming industries in Africa.The reported £3billion price tag slapped on Chelsea has not fazed, Boasiako, though, and he wants to restore stability at the club and continue the legacy of Didier Drogba and Michael Essien.Chelsea fan Nick Candy is understood to be organising and leading a consortium that will bid to buy Chelsea ahead of Friday night's deadline.The property tycoon shares a joint net worth of £1.5billion with his brother and business partner Christian and has recruited Blues legend Gianluca Vialli as part of his bid.Candy was present at last Sunday's 1-0 league win over Newcastle United and the season ticket holder has been vocal in his calls for the club to be in safe hands with fan representation on the board.The overall net worth and value of the Saudi Media Group is currently unknown, although the consortium is being led by Mohamed Alkhereiji, who is valued at £1.7billion.Alkhereiji and the Saudi Media Group are
