  Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, has opened negotiations over buying a new football club while still in the process of trying to sell the Blues, according to Fanatik. The Russian billionaire put the Premier League club up for sale this month, after he was hit with sanctions by the UK government. Abramovich had his assets frozen as a direct result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, due to his ties with Vladamir Putin, preventing him from making money via Chelsea. The 55-year-old is apparently keen to remain within the football industry and has now started negotiations to buy Super Lig club Goztepe. Turkey is currently not applying sanctions to Russians. The reports of Abramovich opening talks with Goztepe come just 48 hours after his £750m super-yacht docked at a port in the resort of Marmaris.

The former housemate disclosed this in a recent interview with PiggyVest, where he stated some of the challenges contestants faced after the show. He said, “Let me start with the obvious one. Clothes. You will pay a stylist N100,000 to style you and you still give them the clothes back. I’m telling you. When people tell me, ‘Come for my event, come for my event’, it’s not that easy. I have to buy clothes. “But this thing called clothes! You return everything back because if you have to buy it, you spend more.” “The real deal-breaker is that once I wear something and take a photo for Instagram, I can’t wear them again anytime soon. “When I finally got a place and brought my clothes together, I felt like I should open a boutique!”
