The former owner of the English Chelsea football club, Roman Abramovich, plans to acquire a controlling stake in Turkish Galatasaray FC. This is reported by local media with reference to sources.

According to the source, the Russian businessman plans to settle in Istanbul and has already purchased a mansion on the Bosphorus. In Turkey, a possible deal is being called a "turning point in the history of Turkish football."

Roman Abramovich had to abandon Chelsea in 2022, when, with the beginning of his war in Ukraine, the businessman was added to the UK sanctions list. FC was sold to a consortium of businessman Todd Boeli.
