Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich involved in club takeover negations
2 min readChelsea owner Roman Abramovich is involved in club takeover in Brazil and negotiations are ongoing.
According to reports from Brazil in January, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich could become one of Vasco da Gama’s new investors.
According to a report by journalist Jorge Nicola, around 20 entities have expressed interest in purchasing the Rio de Janeiro club, with one of them, a Russian, having the Blues’ owner engaged.
The situation has been updated by the same writer, and it appears like the conversations are progressing.
According to a new Nicola video, Vasco president Jorge Salgado has planned a travel to Europe to meet with the Russian company and discuss the takeover.
Even if Abramovich’s name is what draws the most attention to this rumor, it isn’t known whether he will be present at the meeting.
The journalist this time refers to the group as being ‘guided’ by the Blues’ owner.
This isn’t going to happen overnight because Brazilian clubs can’t just be bought.
Even if it has happened at sides like Botafogo and Cruzeiro, their transformation to become a firm must first be approved by the board, which is a laborious process.
If these rumors are accurate, it would be fascinating to see Chelsea combine with a Brazilian team, especially if it was a classic club with a large support like Vasco da Gama.
