Famous Russian businessman and former Chelsea club owner Roman Abramovich is taking a serious step into Turkish football. According to the online editorial "Sozcu," he intends to become one of the largest shareholders of the "Galatasaray" team in the near future.
According to the source, the billionaire has already bought an expensive villa in Istanbul and is preparing to move to the Turkish capital.
Roman Abramovich owned London club Chelsea from 2003 to 2022. Under his leadership, the "aristocrats" won the English championship five times, as well as the FA Cup five times, the League Cup three times, and the European and Champions League twice.
According to Turkish media, Abramovich's interest in Galatasaray's shares is no coincidence - he has been implementing a strategy to enter new markets in European football in recent years.
Experts believe that if this agreement is implemented, Galatasaray's financial capabilities will significantly strengthen, and the team could become an even more prestigious brand internationally.
Some analysts point out that Abramovich is trying to restore his influence in the new arena after the recent political restrictions in Europe by continuing his work in Turkey.
