Nick Candy has denied reports that he is set to team up with rival bidders in the chase to buy Chelsea.
Sanctions have been placed on current owner Roman Abramovich by the UK government amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with the club set to be sold.
And there has been huge interest in the Blues since Abramovich announced his intention to sell the club, with Candy being one of the favourites to buy his boyhood club.
Sky Sports reported that Candy, along with rival bidders, were coming together to form a ‘super consortium’.
The report stated that Candy was going to team up with rival bidders Todd Boehly, Jonathan Goldstein, and Hansjorg Wyss.
However, a spokesperson for the luxury property developer stated that this was not the case – mainly due to the fact that he would not team up with Jonathan Goldstein for one key reason.
A spokesperson for Candy told The Sun: “This is a completely unsubstantiated rumour.
“There are no talks underway with Nick Candy and the Todd Boehly and Jonathan Goldstein consortium, not least because Mr Candy does not want a lifelong Spurs fan as part of the future ownership of Chelsea Football Club.”
Candy, who is a big Chelsea fan and was at Stamford Bridge for their win over Newcastle on Sunday, is keen to buy the Blues – but said last week that he just wants the club in ‘safe hands’.
In an interview with Sky Sports, he said: “I’ve supported Chelsea since the age of four, my dad was asked to play for Chelsea. I love Chelsea. I don’t mind where it ends up, even if it’s not with me. As long as it’s in safe hands.
The 49-year-old says he’ll have a ‘fan representative’ on the Chelsea board should he take over the club.
He added: “100 per cent, they should be involved in the ownership both on the board and economically.”
