COPENHAGEN — The son of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has met with the head of a Danish pension fund, sparking rumors that he may buy a stake in the company behind Danish club FC Copenhagen, a newspaper reported Thursday.
Arkady Abramovich “chiefly” talked about football during Saturday’s lunch with Carsten Koch, chief executive of pension fund Loenmodtagernes Dyrtidsfond that owns 30 percent of shares in Parken Sport & Entertainment, which owns the club, Ekstra Bladet reported. The pension fund has said in the past it was interested in getting rid of its stake in Parken.
Copenhagen, seven-time winner of Denmark’s top league, is second in its Champions League group and could become the first Danish team to advance to the knockout stage of the competition.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
