Abramovich is under increasing pressure to sell as the British government threatens sanctions against those with ties to Vladimir Putin. Therefore, he decided to continue to make sales.
A number of investors have also been mentioned as potentially buying the London club. Among them, Hansjorg Wyss and Todd Boehly are rumored to be involved in the consortium.
Terry was a Chelsea player when Abramovich took over in 2003. He captained the Blues through many subsequent successes, including their first Premier League title and Champions League.
"Thank you Roman. Best owner in the WORLD," the former defender wrote after the statement was shared, quoted by the Football London page.
Abramovich's statement made it clear he wanted to sell the club, but insisted he would not rush through a deal. He even wanted to hand over the club to a charitable foundation.
"I always make decisions in the best interests of the club. In the current situation, I have taken the decision to sell the club, because I believe it is in the best interests of the club, its fans, employees, as well as sponsors and club partners," he wrote on the club's official website. .
"The sale of the club will not be immediate, but will follow the proper process. I will not ask for any loan to be repaid. This is not about business or money for me, but about pure passion for the game and the club," he wrote.
"In addition, I have instructed my team to set up a charitable foundation where all the net proceeds from the sale will be donated. The foundation will be used for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine," he wrote.
