‘We looked into Chelsea before buying Newcastle’ – Amanda Staveley finally reveals Arabs decision in buying Chelsea
According to latest reports, Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley has finally revealed Newcastle United’s new owners had previously explored the possibility of buying Chelsea from Abramovich.
She said at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit: “One great thing about taking four years to buy Newcastle was we had the great opportunity to look at every club, and that includes Chelsea.”
“It is a wonderful club and I love working with all of my Chelsea colleagues on the Premier League board but there was only one club for us, and there will only ever be one club for us.”
Amanda Staveley in partnership with the Saudi Arabia Investment Fund bought Newcastle United for £300million in October 2021.
