Getty Images | Chelsea might settle for a cheaper rebuild of Stanford Bridge to make it possible for Abramovich to sell the club. Pictured is the Chelsea owner as he walks past a banner to support Jose Mourinho after their 3-1 win in the Barclays Premier League match between Chelsea and Sunderland at Stamford Bridge back in 2015.

Roman Abramovich had a few ideas himself regarding the design of the new stadium, but they are expensive and don’t match his ambitions to sell the club.
