Final bids for the club must be submitted on Friday.
Chelsea were put up for sale after current owner Roman Abramovich was hit by sanctions by the British government for his alleged links to Russian president Vladimir Putin as the latter wages war on Ukraine.
A host of rival bidders have come forward ahead of the deadline to submit bids to New York merchant bank the Raine Group. Another consortium led by LA Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly and Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss were the first to emerge as a genuine contender and remain front runners. Tuchel hopes the new owners will have the same lust for winning as the Russian did -- Abramovich poured loans totalling £1.5 billion into making the club a success on the field.
Chelsea are expected to get a hostile reception at the Riverside Stadium after an audacious request for the match to be played behind closed doors on sporting integrity grounds due to their inability to sell tickets to away fans.
