Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich was spotted at the airport in Tel Aviv, Israel this week.
The owner of Chelsea was in the VIP lounge at the airport, as he deals with the aftermath of his assets being frozen by the UK government.
Abramovich is on the list of UK sanctions against Russian oligarchs, due to his close ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
The 55-year-old, who has owned Chelsea since 2003, may now have to give up ownership of the club without claiming any money from the sale, if the UK government has its way.
At present, Chelsea's assets are also frozen, preventing the club from even selling tickets to supporters.
