Chelsea have confirmed they are in talks with UEFA over a possible breach of Financial Fair Play rules.
The Blues’ financial statement for the 2024 financial year showed a pre-tax profit of £128.4m and was the first time they have made a profit since ownership changed hands to Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
However, the figure includes around £200m from the sale of the women’s team to parent company BlueCo at the end of last season, separating the women’s team from the men’s team.
The £200m would be a record for a women’s team, ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี but the deal has yet to be approved by UEFA or the Premier League. Chelsea
revealed this morning (Saturday) that they were in talks with UEFA over factors affecting their filing.
UEFA rules prohibit clubs from entering into deals with companies linked to a team’s owner, meaning any proceeds from the sale of the women’s team will not be included in the financial figures for Financial Fair Play. The
rules also prohibit Chelsea from selling two hotels to subsidiaries in order to bring their finances into compliance with Premier League rules last season.
Last season, the club valued the hotel deal at £76.3m, but after the Premier League assessed the value of the deal it was reduced by £6m.
UEFA allows clubs to lose a combined €200m (£170.1m) over three years.
For the 2023/24 season, Chelsea have spent £553m on signings and made back £208m from player sales.
