Sergey PogrebnyakSport correspondentAll materialsEmail to the authorThe main topic of the sports media in recent days has been a rumor that Roman Abramovich's eyes turned to Russian football. Allegedly, the Evraz company, which is related to the Russian oligarch, may become the owner of Spartak. Recently, due to pressure from the British government and sanctions, Roman Arkadyevich sold Chelsea and was left without a football club. But even before the story with the London club, the businessman was close to buying one of the Moscow teams. But it was not about the «red-white» at all. It all started with the desire of the general director of «Luzhniki» Vladimir Alyoshin to part with the Moscow «Torpedo». At the beginning of the 2000s, the sports complex was the owner of the club, which had to be financed in considerable amounts. But in January 2003, the local market was closed, which at that time was the main source of funding for the team.
