LONDON — A person with knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press that Chelsea is preparing to tell the Super League it wants out of the plan to form a breakaway competition.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Chelsea was yet to send its decision to the organizers of the new largely closed competition that would split the teams away from UEFA’s existing Champions League.
The decision came as fans protested outside the club’s Stamford Bridge stadium.
Chelsea was one of six English clubs along with three elite teams from both Spain and Italy who signed up to the Super League.
