Turkish billionaire Muhsin Bayrak has confirmed that he has progressed with an offer to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich, following the Russian's decision to put the club up for sale.
A number of names have been mentioned in relation to purchasing the reigning European champions with offers rumoured to also be coming from the USA and Saudi Arabia.
Few have spoken publicly about their plan, but this week saw Bayrak, the chairman of construction company AB Group, give an interview in Turkey about his own move.
