Breaking news! Chelsea bank accounts suspended after latest Barclays decision
This is really going out of hand as Chelsea’s bank account has been temporarily suspended by Barclays in the wake of Roman Abramovich being sanctioned by the UK government.
However, The Blues have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the past few days after news broke that Roman Abramovic has had all of his assets frozon by the Government because of his links to Vladimir Putin.
Now, Chelsea fans will be reading the news to find out that the Premier League has now suspended the bank accounts of Chelsea
The reason behind the suspension is that the bank requires time to assess the license Chelsea have been given to continue football-related activities.
Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol said that: “Chelsea’s bank accounts with Barclays have been temporarily suspended.
“We have been told that Barclays need time to assess the licence that Chelsea have been given that allows Chelsea to continue their football related activities.
“Chelsea are hopeful that the suspension put in place by Barclays will be lifted shortly.
“But the issue Barclays have got is the bank account is in the name of Chelsea. Chelsea are owned by Roman Abramovich.
“He is sanctioned by the UK Government. No one in the UK, including Barclays, is allowed to do business with Roman Abramovich.
“If they give Chelsea access to those accounts, how can they be sure that Chelsea will only spend that money on what the Government have said Chelesea are allowed to spend their money on.
“This is very, very serious for Chelsea. Even though we are being told they hope the suspension will be lifted shortly”
