Unexpected News has been announced for Chelsea this Evening as Todd Boehly has instructed Pochettino to Sell THREE FLOP players before June 30 to avoid £110m FFP punishment
A former financial advisor for Manchester City has suggested that Chelsea must sell players for more than £100 million to avoid facing penalties under the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
This season, both Everton and Nottingham Forest have suffered point deductions due to alleged breaches of the Premier League’s FFP rules, which cap allowable losses at £105 million over three years or £35 million per season.
Despite Chelsea’s acquisition by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital in May 2022, the club has splurged over £1 billion on new players.
Football finance expert Stefan Borson believes Chelsea may face a more severe penalty from the Premier League compared to Everton and Forest.
Borson expressed to talkSPORT, “It seems to me that the extent of the losses they are currently projecting is significantly greater than that of both Everton and Nottingham Forest.”
Borson anticipates Chelsea will need to offload several first-team players before the June 30 FFP deadline to stabilize their finances.
Regarding Mason Mount, Borson noted that although it was initially believed he was sold this season, recent revelations suggest the transaction occurred in the 2022–2023 period.
Chelsea reportedly faced a £55 million deficit this season, despite making a £55 million profit, as disclosed in their accounts.
Borson emphasized the need for Chelsea to find buyers for Trevoh Chalobah (£20 million), Armando Broja (£40 million), and Conor Gallagher (£50 million) before the June 30 deadline, as stipulated in the Forest ruling.
However, there’s concern about the feasibility of selling players before the deadline, with the Premier League suggesting it might be practically impossible.
In light of Chelsea’s absence from European competitions this season, Borson stressed the importance of these player sales for the club’s financial stability.
