A Ghanaian gold mine owner, Antwi Boasiako, has revealed his ambitious plans of becoming the new owner of Chelsea Football club.
He disclosed this in a recent interview on Ghana’s Wontumi FM, where he named three of the world’s biggest players he would love to sign to The Blues.
This is coming after the club’s Russian billionaire owner, Roman Abramovich said he is looking to sell the club, following the clampdown he has received from the UK Government over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
A number of billionaires have indicated interest in buying the club, but talks to sell the club is currently on hold because of the sanction imposed on Abramovich by Britain.
Speaking on his plan to buy the club, Antwi Boasiako said,
“I want to go and buy Chelsea Football Club. I am interested in it.
Those who buy clubs are not footballers, but business people. I am also a businessman. I’m into gold mining. Why can’t we buy the club?
I want to join the bidding. If I become the owner, I want the Brazilian player at Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr – and to sell off Romelu Lukaku.
I will speak with Manchester United to see if I can also buy Cristiano Ronaldo for Chelsea. I’d also look at signing Lionel Messi.
Roman Abramovich has done his best. It is now time for him to support a Ghanaian or an African to buy Chelsea.”
Boasiako is a politician, gold mine owner, and radio station boss. According to The Sun, his net worth could be up to £76m.
