Roman Abramovich 'opens talks to buy new club' while trying to sell Chelsea

Roman Abramovich has allegedly opened talks to buy a new football club while still in the process of trying to sell Chelsea.

The billionaire put the Stamford Bridge club up for sale in early March before he was hit with sanctions by the UK government. Abramovich had his assets frozen as a direct result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, due to his ties with Vladamir Putin, preventing him from making money via Chelsea.

According to Turkish publication Fanatik, the Russian is apparently keen to remain within the football industry and has now started negotiations to buy Super Lig club Goztepe.
