A former Man City financial adviser has claimed Chelsea are set to breach Financial Fair Play (FFP) limits and insisted he expects the Blues to receive a significant punishment, which could include a hefty points deduction.
The Premier League’s FFP regulations have come into focus over recent months, with Everton deducted 10 points back in November for breaking them.
Last month, they were then charged again – alongside Nottingham Forest – for breaching top flight spending rules. Premier League clubs are allowed to lose £105m over a three-year rolling time frame, with the end of each accounting year coming on June 30.
Since Chelsea were taken over by a Todd Boehly-led consortium in May 2022, the Blues have spent more than £1billion in the transfer market as they’ve looked to revamp their squad.
They have slightly spread the cost by using amortization to pay the fees over several years by handing lengthy contracts to players, but the Blues are still the highest spenders in the top flight during that period.
