Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is weighing up a takeover of Vasco da Gama.

Vasco da Gama are on the lookout for new investors, with one of the groups interested said to involve Abramovich.

Local journalist Jorge Nicola reports 20 groups have been in touch with the club, and a Russian-based bid includes Abramovich in some form.

Talks are currently evolving, and that Vasco president Jorge Salgado is set to travel to Europe where he will talk to the Russian group.

While it is no confirmed whether Abramovich will be attending any meetings, the group in question is said to be 'led' by the 55-year-old.
