Currently at the center of the Premier League table, Chelsea are going through a difficult time. Rivals of Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the London team faces the real possibility of not playing the highest continental competition next year, which would have a notable impact on their coffers.
With €175 million in losses in the 2020-2021 season and €138 million a year later, the million-dollar investments made in the latest transfer markets could have a devastating effect in the short term. And it is that in the summer market of 2022 and the month of January 2023 the expense has been around €600 million.
Need to minimize expenses
Now, The Times publishes information that will undoubtedly not leave the fans alone blues. And it is that the English medium remembers that the championship allows a maximum of 120 million euros in losses during a period of three consecutive years. In this way, and taking the last two seasons as a reference, Chelsea will have to sell many players if they want to escape sanctions.
In addition, without the financial cushion of participating in the Champions League, Chelsea must make these sales before June 30 if they want this income to be taken into account by the Premier League. The countdown has started on Stamford Bridge. Will they achieve their goal in the offices?
