A friend of mine sent me a link to a Turkish Newspaper Milliyet, and Aktuel, claiming that Abramovich has his eyes on Fenerbahce for a takeover.

According to the articles, the source of such news comes from the Author Antoine Vitkine who wrote "La Nouveaux Imposteurs". The author claims that Abramovic had a meeting with the Fenerbahce board of directors 2 weeks ago, discussing a take over in which Abramovich offered 600 million. In addition to the quotes cited from this particular book, the author paraphrased that Abramovich is attracted to the fact that Fenerbahce "Is a team with 30 million fans that is hungry for European success"
The only difference between the two sites that i listed above as sources for this news, is that Milliyet claims at the end of its article that "If the takeover were to take place, players like Ronaldinho, Nedved ve Shevchenko will come to Fenerbahce" ...I think that's completely obsurd, but i'm just stating what the article says. I think that was more or less an attempt to make the article more colourful and attractive.
The second link (yeniaktuel) basically says the same things as Milliyet, excluding the "future transfers" if Abramovich were to take over.
Tell me what you think, and/or have any more info on it. I'm just curious. I myself am 99% convinced none of this will take place, but i'd like to hear other comments.
