Roman Abramovich released Chelsea after the British government sanctioned him following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The billionaire from Russia is also considered to have a close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, the Blues are getting ready to welcome a new owner.
Abramovich opened a price of 3 billion pounds for the club he bought in 2003. However, it has not been decided who the tycoon will take over the two-time Champions League winner.
Despite all that, word got out that Abramovich was preparing to buy a new club. According to CNN Turki, reported by Tribalfootball, Thursday (24/3), the Russian billionaire is in talks to buy Turkish club Goztepe. Representatives for Abramovich and Goztepe owner Mehmet Sepil have opened negotiations over the sale of the club.
Abramovich's super yacht, L'Eclipse is docked in Turkey. This could be a sign that the CNN report is correct that the two sides are in talks to buy local club Goztepe.
Abramovich is a billionaire who changed the face of Chelsea into a respected team in England and Europe. With the power of his money, he brought in a number of top players and great coaches to collect a lot of trophies.
Since he joined Stamford Bridge, Chelsea won two Champions League titles and five Premier League titles. Then five FA Cup trophies, one Club World Cup, two Europa Leagues, three Carling Cups (League Cup), one European Super Cup and two Community Shield trophies.
Now Abramovich must accept the fact that his togetherness ended because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He is rumored to be choosing prospective buyers who have the same vision and mission in building Chelsea
