This comes despite earlier rumours he wanted his $2.8 million loans repaid as part of the sale.
The Russia Oligarch quickly put the club up for grabs, amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He was then later sanctioned by the United Kingdom Government along with a long list of other Russian elite living abroad.
Bidders are vying to get their hands on the renowned club, with the final sale to be announced on May 31.
However, the UK Government is standing firm that Abramovich will be banned from profiting from the sale of the club.
Instead, the money will likely go to victims of the war in Ukraine.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.
Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.
