Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich has flown to Turkey as he aims to finalise the sale of Chelsea, according to a MailOnline investigation.
The investigation has discovered a private jet owned by the Blues owner made a trip to Turkey on Wednesday, potentially to discuss terms with wealthy Turkish businessman Muhsin Bayrak.
The luxury 2019 Gulfstream G650ER craft - worth an estimated £48.7million new and one of a fleet of six operated by Abramovich - travelled from Moscow and landed briefly in Istanbul before flying on to Turkish capital Ankara.
Abramovich is seeking buyers for the Premier League club he owns, with a touted price of around £3billion.
