Chelsea May Receive £24m This Week if Rivals Tottenham Fulfill Conditions
Todd Boehly is hoping for Tottenham to help Chelsea out this weekend. Chelsea could receive a £24 million payout if Tottenham helps them. The Blues are expected to sell players in the summer to comply with financial rules after spending heavily on transfers in recent years. One player, Lewis Hall, is close to sealing a permanent move to Newcastle, which could trigger the payout for Chelsea.
Newcastle’s obligation to buy Hall will be activated if they finish 15th or higher in the Premier League. To ensure compliance with the rules, Chelsea needs the payout from this deal. It is uncertain if this money will alleviate concerns over profit and sustainability rules. The Premier League has penalized teams for breaching these rules, and Chelsea has denied any potential breach, but former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness has warned that a penalty may be inevitable.
If Chelsea cannot find a way to navigate the transfer market cleverly, they may face a serious points deduction. There are speculations about Todd Boehly and his connections with Saudi Arabia helping Chelsea in this matter. The situation is being closely monitored, and it is anticipated that Chelsea fans might be unhappy in the future.
