UEFA has fined Chelsea a record £27 million for breaching financial regulations, potentially incurring an additional £51.8 million if financial targets are not met. Aston Villa, Barcelona, and Lyon also received fines for similar violations. The breaches relate to the football earnings rule and the squad cost rule, which governs clubs’ financial losses and spending limits on wages and transfers. Chelsea and Villa face restrictions on registering new players unless net transfers are positive, reflecting the stringent monitoring of their financial practices post-aggressive spending.
Chelsea has been fined a record £27 million by UEFA for breaching financial regulations, with an additional £51.8 million penalty looming if future financial targets are unmet.
The penalties arise from two main violations: the football earnings rule regarding financial losses and the squad cost rule limiting spending on wages, transfers, and fees.
Chelsea's penalties include £17.2 million for violating the football earnings rule and £9.5 million for exceeding the squad cost limit, both needing future compliance.
Clubs facing penalties must meet settlement agreements that limit their ability to register new players unless net transfers are positive, impacting team management.
