Chelsea is in danger of being banned in European football in the future – including the Champions League – after breaking the strict financial rules of UEFA.
The Blues have endured the season of rollercoaster but have gave himself a strong opportunity Entering the Champions League for the first time after their last best premiere league ended in 2022.
However, it seems that the great consumption of Chelsea is in recent seasons to bring them into problems with the European control body, which do not accept some of the same accounting practices the club used to avoid potential sanctions from the Premier League.
Chelsea He recorded a profit of £ 198.7 million last summer selling a woman’s team to a sister company. A similar tactic was used in 2023 to collect £ 76.5 million with two hotels previously owned by the club.
The sale of property to sister companies is acceptable according to the Premier League regulations, but not UEFA. Thus, the lucrative amounts adopted from these contracts must be affected from the financial record used to determine the respect. Without £ 275.2 million of additional revenue, Chelsea’s losses have reached £ 358 million in the last three years, which is a lot of permissible UEFA threshold of £ 170m.
Times It says that Chelsea is already talking to UEFA about the settlement “is likely to include” a fine, as well as agree to the “Sustainability Plan” on future consumption by 2028. UEFA is expected to give details about the eventual public public next month.
But because of the violation of the rules once, it is possible that a sharper penalty – which includes a ban on European competition – can be written in any such plan.
Even under the supervision of the Premier League, Chelsea had to reduce the value of the hotel agreement by £ 6 million, and the same could happen in case the female team is being sold. There are doubts whether £ 200m is correct and fair value, given revenue and recent losses.
