After selling Chelsea, Abu is interviewed for the first time and hopes to return to the court one day to say goodbye

After being forced to bid farewell to Chelsea three years, former club legendary boss Roman Abramovich finally broke his silence and talked deeply about the sales that shocked the football world for the first time. He made it clear that his fate with professional football has ended and he “will no longer have Chelsea or any other club.”

With the release of the new book "Sanctions: The Insider of Chelsea Football Club Sales", Abu's unknown efforts in this globally striking sale are revealed. The book depicts him in the heart of the storm and still participating in negotiations secretly and tirelessly. Even the day after the Kiev apartment was poisoned, he still resisted his discomfort and insisted on advancing the key process of finding a new home for the club.

In May 2022, Chelsea finally changed hands with Burleigh-Qinghu Capital Consortium. A huge £2.5 billion profit was deposited into a frozen UK bank account. Abu reiterated that the huge sum would be used to aid victims of the Ukrainian conflict and fulfill the solemn promise of the sale.

When agreeing to interview for the new book, Abu revealed his thoughts for the first time: Losing Chelsea is like saying goodbye to an era, and he has no intention of setting sail again in the field of professional football. In 2003, he opened the Blue Bridge for 140 million pounds, creating a star-studded trophy harvest period.

When asked about the future connection with Chelsea, Abu's only distant blessings were revealed in his words: "Maybe someday, the situation will allow me to return to the court and complete a formal farewell ceremony under the witness of everyone - but that's all." He firmly ruled out any possibility of returning to his professional role: "I have no interest in any position in a football club, and even less likely to have a professional role."

Abu's only warmth retained, pointing to The foundation and future of football: "Maybe there is some space that allows me to support the Youth Training Academy and provide more opportunities for young people in adversity - if there are real feasible initiatives that can bring change." He immediately drew a clear line again: "As for club ownership or professional role? This chapter in my life has been closed forever."

Faced with the surging doubts from the outside world, especially the accusations from the British government, Abram seemed calm and firm. He quoted an old Russian proverb in response: "Dogs are barking, but the caravan continues to move forward." He admitted to the author of the book Nick Preval: "No matter what I do, there are always people trying to speculate on hidden motivations. Ultimately, everything I do is just to try to help."

From igniting the fire of revival for Chelsea in 2003, to leaving the market with a shocking price of 2.5 billion pounds in 2022, Abu's Blue Bridge era hastily ended in the storm of sanctions. The "end" he declared in person is not only the turn of a wealthy investor, but also symbolizes the official ebb of a fanatical era that reshapes the football landscape with gold and dollar. The boundaries between power and charity may always be blurred, but at this moment, he chose to cast his unfinished care into the silent corner of the war - the world that needs light like the green field.
