With potential buyers honing in on the European champions, Stamford Bridge will play a significant role in the bidding war.
Raine Group, a US merchant bank, has set up a shortlist of four potential buyers for the club and is demanding plans for the stadium and a promise of $1 billion in investment.
There is a deadline of April 11 for the Ricketts family, Todd Boehly, and Stephen Pagliuca to make a final bid to purchase Roman Abramovich's shares.
Furthermore, it's said to be a role in the selection process because their vision for the Bridge, which has been neglected for far too long, is being considered.
That would give the Ricketts family an edge, since they had made stadium refurbishment a major part of their original plan.
US hedge fund manager Ken Griffin, worth an estimated £20 billion, is behind their effort. Aside from that, they have a track record of successful stadium renovations, including Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs.
However, Broughton, Boehly or Pagliuca's ideas for the ground have still to be formulated as a result of this new deadline.
According to Raine, bidders should expect a deal to be completed by the end of April. Six months is a typical time frame for significant purchases, according to experts.
Chelsea, the Government, and the Premier League are all focused on getting a deal done now that Abramovich has been sanctioned.
As a result of this increased investment, the club's playing group will be able to compete at the top level, while also ensuring the club's overall growth.
There's no certainty that the bridge will be repaired, but it's a sign that the stadium is an important factor in the selection process for a potential buyer.
Supporters facing an uncertain future without Abramovich should take solace in this financial commitment.
Chelsea's "data room" will now be open to those on the shortlist, allowing them to look at the club's most up-to-date financial records, including its current pay cost.
In addition, they will be able to meet important members of the organization, such as Chairman Bruce Buck, Director Marina Granovskaia, Chief Executive Guy Lawrence, and Manager Thomas Tuchel, if they so want.
