Turkish billionaire Muhsin Bayrak claims he is in talks with Roman Abramovich's lawyers about buying Chelsea after the club was put up for sale earlier this week.
Abramovich sent shockwaves rippling through European football on Wednesday when he sensationally announced he is looking to sell the Blues after almost two decades as owner.
The Russian has made the decision to end his 19-year reign at Stamford Bridge amid his country's invasion of Ukraine, which has raised questions in UK parliament about potentially imposing sanctions on him.
As a result, Abramovich is now offloading all of his London assets before the British government can penalise him, including his beloved Chelsea.
