"We put an offer in this morning," he revealed. "We are the only British bid. Our motives are simply to try and create a very fine club in London.

"We have no profit motive because we make our money in other ways."​

Outgoing owner Roman Abramovich​ is thought to be demanding a whopping £2.5 billion to hand over Chelsea. 

But Ratcliffe's staggering offer has surpassed that figure.
