Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has flown to Turkey as he aims to finalise the club's sale.

A private jet owned by the Blues owner made a trip to Turkey on Wednesday, potentially to discuss terms with wealthy Turkish businessman Muhsin Bayrak, reports the Daily Mail.

The luxury 2019 Gulfstream G650ER craft - worth an estimated £48.7million new and one of a fleet of six operated by Abramovich - travelled from Moscow and landed briefly in Istanbul before flying on to Turkish capital Ankara.

Abramovich is seeking buyers for the Premier League club he owns, with a touted price of around £3billion.

Bayrak has claimed he is locked in talks with the Russian over a purchase, insisting he is "in the negotiation phase for the signatures".

The £8billion-valued Bayrak has also vowed to "fly the Turkish flag in London soon", suggesting Abramovich may have travelled to Turkey to thrash out details of selling Chelsea.
