4.25 billion pounds, the equivalent of a good five billion euros, offers businessman Jim Radcliffe, head of the British chemical group "Ineos" - and probably got on with his offer for FC Chelsea on Friday.
As a favorite for the successor to Roman Abramovich as the owner of the blues, which are currently subject to the restrictions against the Russians, an American-Swiss consortium around Todd Boelly, co-owner of the baseball franchise Los Angeles Dodgers. With this offer, the purchase price should "only" be just over three billion.
The British government must agree
According to the British media reports, the consortium, which should also include the Swiss multi-billionaire Wyss, which has already been connected to Chelsea, now has up to a week. Until then, the group must clearly confirm their intention to take over - otherwise another applicant would move into the pole position.
The New Yorker Handelsbank Raine is currently deciding on this, but after all, the Premier League and in the case of Chelsea - Abramovich's assets are frozen - even the British government agree to the sale.
