The Russian billionaire, who turned Chelsea into a European powerhouse during his two decades in London, is said to be ready to replicate that success in Budapest. His vision? To transform Ferencváros into a modern European super-club, capable of challenging for the continent’s biggest prizes.
“I want to build Ferencváros into a club that can once again fight for the biggest trophies in Europe,” Abramovich is quoted as saying.
If the takeover materializes, it would mark Abramovich’s first major move back into football since his dramatic departure from Chelsea in 2022. His time in England was defined by enormous investment, star signings, and unprecedented success, including five Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League trophy.
For Ferencváros, a club with rich history and tradition but limited financial muscle compared to Europe’s giants, Abramovich’s arrival could be nothing short of transformational. Fans are already dreaming of world-class facilities, international stars wearing the green and white shirt, and regular appearances in the Champions League knockout stages.
However, the move is not without controversy. Questions will arise about the regulatory approval of such a deal, as well as the broader impact of Abramovich’s return to football. Still, one thing is certain: if his takeover goes through, Hungarian football will never be the same again.
Ferencváros, the pride of Budapest, could soon find itself on a new journey — one backed by the man who once redefined modern club ownership in England.
