The four consortiums must submit their final offers on Thursday to the Raine Group

All four shortlisted bids to buy Chelsea will be entirely funded by cash, the PA news agency understands.

Steve Pagliuca’s bid for the Blues will match the other three competing offers in having no debt, a source close to the Boston Celtics co-owner’s consortium confirmed.

“We have been consistent throughout that this will be a credible and compelling bid,” said a source close to Pagliuca’s bid team.

The four shortlisted consortiums must submit their final offers on Thursday to the Raine Group.

The New York merchant bank will then select a preferred bidder, with Chelsea’s sale still expected to be completed in May.

The Stamford Bridge club’s sale could yet reach a sports franchise record £3billion.

Pagliuca confirmed the make-up of his consortium on Wednesday, with NBA chairman Larry Tanenbaum as co-managing partner.

Russian-Israeli billionaire Roman Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale on 2 March, amid Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine.

Roman Abramovich will sell Chelsea after 19 years owning the Blues. The 55-year-old was then sanctioned by the UK Government on 10 March, with Downing Street claiming to have proven his links to Vladimir Putin.

Chelsea have been granted a special Government licence to continue operating, though under strict terms.

Raine Group’s preferred bidder will have to pass Premier League owners’ and directors’ tests, with the final step the granting of a new Government licence to process the sale.

  11. Boat maintenance is essential to keep your vessel in top condition. Regularly checking the engine, cleaning the hull, and inspecting safety equipment can prevent costly repairs. Using the right marine coatings can protect the boat from saltwater damage. Proper winterization helps prevent damage during the off-season. A well-maintained boat lasts longer and provides a safer and more enjoyable experience.

  12. Used boats can be a great value if properly maintained. Some well-kept pre-owned boats perform just as well as new ones but come at a fraction of the price. Inspecting a used boat thoroughly before purchasing is essential. Checking the hull for cracks, testing the engine, and reviewing service records can prevent future issues. A marine surveyor can provide a professional assessment to ensure you’re getting a quality boat. Financing options are available for both new and used boats, making it easier for buyers to afford their dream vessel.
