— Perhaps someday I will be able to come to a game and say goodbye properly, but no more than that. I am not interested in any role in a football club, let alone a professional one. As for becoming an owner or playing a professional role in the club, I am done with that, — quoted the businessman RMC Sport.

We remind you, Chelsea was sold in 2022 for £2.5 billion after sanctions were imposed against the Russian oligarch. The money has since been frozen in a UK account.
