ALREADY? Departing Chelsea owner Abramovich in talks to buy new club

Departing Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is already being linked with a new club takeover.

Abramovich saw Chelsea seized from him by the UK government after sanctioning the Russian billionaire after the invasion of Ukraine.

Chelsea are now on the brink of being sold for over £3bn, though Abramovich will not see any of the money raised.

His super yacht the L'Eclipse is currently docked in Turkey and CNN Turk is reporting talks are already underway about Abramovich buying local club Göztepe.

Reps of Abramovich and the owner of Göztepe, Mehmet Sepil, have already opened negotiations about a club sale.
