Roman to get Chelsea back? – Roman Abramovich finally set to speaks on Chelsea sale could also get Chelsea back on one condition
For the first time in four years, former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is stepping out of the shadows to speak publicly—and it’s all about Chelsea.
In a stunning new revelation, the Russian billionaire is set to detail the dramatic £2.5 billion sale of Chelsea Football Club in a book to be released this summer, as reported by the BBC. This will be Abramovich’s first major public commentary since he was sanctioned in 2022, and Chelsea fans are buzzing with curiosity.
According to the report, Abramovich granted a rare two-part interview, sharing his perspective on his 2003 acquisition of the club, the complex negotiations that led to the sale to Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital in 2022, and even his surprising involvement in peace efforts during the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The discussions reportedly took place in Abu Dhabi and Istanbul, painting a picture of a man deeply involved in global affairs—far beyond Stamford Bridge.
Of particular note is Abramovich’s claim of being poisoned during peace negotiations, a detail that adds a cloak-and-dagger edge to an already dramatic chapter in Chelsea’s history.
The former owner’s comments are expected to give fans long-awaited clarity on the sale that changed the face of Chelsea Football Club. With £2.5 billion from the sale still frozen and unresolved legal and political complications hanging over the funds, questions continue to linger over what happens next.
Meanwhile, under Boehly and Clearlake’s stewardship, Chelsea are pressing on—fighting for a Champions League spot and eyeing their first trophy in the new era. But for many fans, Abramovich’s upcoming book could offer not just insight, but closure.
Whether you loved him or loathed him, Abramovich was synonymous with Chelsea’s golden era. His voice, once silenced by politics, is finally ready to speak—and the football world is listening.
