Since the official departure of Roman Abramovich at the head of Chelsea, which now belongs to Todd Boehly, Blues supporters have been dreaming big for the summer transfer window. Jules Koundé, Ousmane Dembélé, Matthijs de Ligt, Rayan Aït-Nouri… several fine names are mentioned near Stamford Bridge. But the American businessman held a rather cautious speech on this subject, visibly fearing UEFA.
“Financial fair play is starting to have teeth and that will limit the ability to acquire players at any cost. UEFA takes it seriously and will continue to take it seriously. More bite means financial penalties and disqualification from sports competitions”thus released the new strongman of Chelsea during the SuperReturn International conference in Berlin, in remarks relayed by Bloomberg. The message got through.
