Amr Zedan net worth revealed as Chelsea takeover news given latest twist amid Saudi investor bid

The race to take Chelsea Football Club off the hands of Roman Abramovich is heating up, with Amr Zedan reportedly the latest figure to make an offer to purchase the Premier League side.

Potential bidders were given until last Friday to provide their proposals to the Raine Group, with AP News claiming that Zedan’s offer was included as he looks to ‘secure further financing’ for a deal that could reach upwards of £3 billion.

The Raine Group - a New York investment bank brought into deal with the sale of Chelsea - are attempting to secure a takeover before the end of the month.

Zedan remains up against a number of known bidders including the Chicago Cubs owners, the Ricketts family, as well as the Los Angeles’ Dodgers Todd Boehly and UK property tycoon, Nick Candy.
