How Roman Abramovich fell back in love with Chelsea and was persuaded to go big again in the transfer market

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/08/25/roman-abramovich-fell-back-love-chelsea-persuaded-go-big-transfer/

Roman Abramovich is making good on a promise he made to Frank Lampard at what might have otherwise been the bleakest of times at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea were midway through their Fifa transfer embargo last autumn and denying claims the club was for sale when Abramovich apparently picked up the phone to Lampard and director Marina Granovskaia. Rather than marching away, their emperor was instead pledging to open up the war chest for another onslaught. 

The exiled billionaire, who had then not set foot in the UK for 18 months amid lingering Anglo-Russian tensions, had seen enough under his young manager's revolution to persuade him that he was ready to go big again.

Abramovich famously fell in love with football, and eventually Chelsea, watching a European tie between Manchester United and Real Madrid in 2003. Seeing Lampard's young side thrive without a penny to spend had seemingly revived the romance. Figures in world football who wanted rid of him - and the British Government for that matter - would only add to the allure of rebuilding the empire. 

During his ongoing absence from the UK, associates say Abramovich is personally as happy as they have known him during his time in football ownership. Since divorcing wife Dasha Zhukova, the 53-year-old, who took Israeli citizenship in 2017, is spending the majority of his time - both work and play - in Russia again. Business, in turn, is booming.

He has recruited several figures at Chelsea to help direct more of his spare cash towards charitable projects, having transferred many of his investments into haulage after a number of sell-offs, including stocks totalling £300 million at London-based steel giant Evraz.

An increasing commitment to fighting anti-Semitism has endured even through the Covid pandemic. Last week Chelsea reaffirmed support for the RAF Museum in London and his latest philanthropic project is to fund a forest that is being dedicated to Lithuanian jews who fell victim to the Holocaust.

For those closest to the usually enigmatic Russian, the latest of his £500m charitable ventures is his most personal public gesture to date. The project is rooted in personal family tragedy as is believed to have descended from victims of a bloody Second World War massacre that has been all-but-forgotten by the history books.

Reports in Lithuania are patchy. Abramovich's parents and relatives are known to have hailed from the country but were exiled to Siberia during the Soviet occupation in 1941. Keren Kayemeth, of the LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund, confirmed the new forest being funded by Abramovich in Southern Israel is dedicated to the memory of "Lithuanian Jewry who perished in the Holocaust". "The new forest forms a part of a series of new ecological projects and forest rehabilitation," a release said. "The project is made possible thanks to a significant donation from businessman and philanthropist Mr Roman Abramovich."

Legacy is an increasingly big deal for the Russian, who could travel to the UK on his Israeli passport but feels he has become collateral damage in a feud between the Foreign Office and Russia, which erupted after the Salisbury poisonings. Sources close to the Russian say he has not had a single conversation with the British Government in more than two years.

However, there has never been a sense of abandonment at Chelsea, who have repeatedly said he has never listened to any of the offers which have been tabled in the two years since his visa row erupted in early 2018.

The unanswered question remains whether he will return to the £1 billion redevelopment of Stamford Bridge, which was put on ice in apparent frustration at UK authorities.

Chelsea supporters will hope the recent transfer activity - generating millions in taxes for the Treasury - is a signal that the answer is yes, although the economic reasons that Abramovich cited for postponing redevelopment have not changed, with London's property market stagnating in the two years since.

Despite now being among four formerly British-based Russian oligarchs forced into exile, Abramovich, as evidenced by Lampard's signings, is not one to give up on plans at Chelsea. Never has a summer splurge been so long in the making for an elite club, which is perhaps why Chelsea have enjoyed such success in landing the likes of Kai Havertz when others are treading cautiously post Covid.

Granwovskaia and Lampard met in the second week of December to identify their list of key targets as soon as the Fifa embargo was overturned. Ben Chilwell had been a key target for some time before, while Lampard's admiration for Havertz appears to have grown as the season has worn on.

In delivering on his year-old promise to splash the cash, the enigmatic figure of few words has shown he is at least a man of his word.
