Muhsin Bayrak: Last News

Chelsea could still be sold should Roman Abramovich hand control of the process to UK Government officials - and there is still interest in the west London outfit.Abramovich was one of seven Russian oligarchs to have their assets frozen by the government on Thursday (March 10) morning, which means that his plans to sell the club are currently blocked.However, the sale could still go ahead during this period should he stand to make no financial gain from the deal - having previously promised to donate the net profits.The Russian would have to apply for a special licence to sell the club now, declaring that he will not benefit from the sale.It has now been reported that there is still plenty of interest in taking control of the club despite the current uncertainty at Stamford Bridge.The Telegraph report that prospective buyers have not been put off by the latest update, meaning a deal worth in the region of £2billion could go ahead.Their report adds that 'special dispensation' will be given if the sale of Chelsea is seen in the best interests of the football club.Will Thomas Tuchel be Chelsea manager next season?

Roman Abramovich has reportedly been in Turkey to discuss the sale of Chelsea to Turkish billionaire Muhsin Bayrak.The Russian is desperate to find a buyer after being forced to cut ties with the club in the wake of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine last week.It's understood that Abramovich is looking for bids of around £3 billion, but the hurried nature of the sale means he'll probably struggle to get that much.A number of potential buyers have announced their interest, including Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss and American tycoon Todd Boehly who have planned a joint-bid.But Bayrak has emerged as the latest frontrunner after claiming "the Turkish flag will fly in London" earlier this week.Abramovich, who is waiving £1.5 billion worth of debt the club owes him, appears to want to ensure Chelsea falls into the right hands, and has spent the last few days speaking with the prospective buyers.The Russian's £48 million private plane was spotted landing in Istanbul on Wednesday, before moving on to the Turkish capital of Ankara, and it's understood that Abramovich has met with Bayrak in person to discuss a deal.Bayrak claims that he has been locked in talks with the Chelsea owner and ever insists he is "in the negotiation phase for the signatures".Do you think Abramovich will sell to the highest bidder or to whoever he thinks he will be best for Chelsea?
