Potential new Chelsea owner Muhsin Bayrak has been handed a double blow to his hopes of owning the club with his first transfer set to fall to the wayside. The Turkish businessman was linked with a bid for the west London club following Roman Abramovich’s decision to sell.
He confirmed his interest in an interview with Turkish outlet Yeni Safak. He said: "We are negotiating the terms of the purchase of Chelsea with Roman Abramovich 's lawyers.
"We are in the negotiation phase for the signatures. We will fly the Turkish flag in London soon. We made our offer. Because of the war with Russia and Ukraine in the world. Because they find Turkey safe, they want to get most of the after-sales money in Turkey. We are planning to sign soon."
