Despite concerns over Premier League sanctions, Chelsea’s owner Todd Boehly is set to support significant summer spending. The club faces potential sanctions if they don’t raise around £100 million through player sales by the financial deadline on June 30. Under Profit and Sustainability rules, English clubs are allowed a total loss of £105 million over three years. However, Chelsea has exceeded this limit following two years of heavy spending under Boehly and BlueCo.
To balance the books and avoid penalties similar to those faced by Everton, Nottingham Forest, and Leicester City, Chelsea may need to sell players like Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, and Raheem Sterling, among others. There are also reports that Chelsea is considering part-exchange deals to acquire key targets while offloading unwanted players. The next month and a half will be crucial as the club navigates its financial and transfer strategies.
Victor Osimhen and Financial Considerations
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano emphasized Chelsea’s interest in long-term striker target Victor Osimhen but highlighted the importance of resolving Financial Fair Play (FFP) issues before making a move. Romano stated, “I think Chelsea will be there. The interest is still there. It is really important to understand what is happening; first of all with the FFP situation because Chelsea do not want to overpay. It will be important to see how much the package is going to be for Victor Osimhen. It will then be important to see how much Osimhen wants in terms of salary and his contract. So there are some crucial financial points to sort out before Chelsea can say ‘ok’ and go for Osimhen.”
The Chase for Brazilian Starlet Estevao Willian
Another target for Chelsea is Brazilian youngster Estevao Willian. According to Romano, Estevao has verbally agreed to personal terms with Chelsea. However, until contracts are officially signed, there is a risk that other clubs could still swoop in.
Chelsea Preparing £65 Million Bid for Estevao
Goal Brasil reports that Chelsea is working on a £65 million total package bid, including taxes, for Estevao. The west London club is engaged in ongoing talks with Palmeiras to finalize an agreement. Given Estevao’s promise, other top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus, are also showing interest.
Chelsea is keen to secure the deal quickly, hoping to outmaneuver these high-profile competitors. As the club navigates the complex landscape of player transfers and financial regulations, securing key targets like Estevao could be pivotal for their future success.
