Will Roman Abramovich Buy Chelsea Again? Russian Billionaire Breaks Silence on Future Plans and Sale of Premier League Club

Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea Football Club in 2003 and owned it for 19 years until forced to sell in May 2022.
He sold Chelsea after UK government sanctions froze his assets following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital headed a group of U.S. investors that acquired Chelsea for £2.5 billion, completing the takeover shortly after the purchase.
In his first interview since selling Chelsea, Abramovich expressed a desire to one day visit Stamford Bridge for a final farewell but made it clear he has no plans to take on any future role in football.
The UK government is preparing legal action to ensure the £2.5 billion proceeds support Ukrainian humanitarian causes, while Abramovich pledges the money will aid all war victims.
