What Chelsea are saying about Moises Caicedo's future amid UEFA issues

"Crucially for Chelsea supporters, the outlet have been told there is no requirement to start selling key players such as Cole Palmer or Moises Caicedo in order to meet regulatory thresholds. They have assured that there is no financial pressure on them to offload any key members of the squad they do not wish to lose this summer, and that their approach to player trading will be strategic rather than reactive."

"UEFA's rules don't recognise the artificial profit from the women's team sale. And Chelsea have already breached those rules and are under the terms of settlement, which means they have to break even financially over the next three years. Given that they have posted annual operating losses of £200m since the takeover, that's going to require a major recalibration of their strategy."

"Despite a turbulent start to 2026 marked by persistent injury setbacks and rumours of Cole Palmer's homesickness, his position at Chelsea remains ironclad. Contracted until 2033, the 23-year-old is viewed as the cornerstone of the squad, with the board preferring to generate pure profit through the sale of academy."

Chelsea has dismissed claims that UEFA's strict financial sustainability regulations will force them to sell star players Moises Caicedo and Cole Palmer. The club faces significant financial pressure after posting annual operating losses of £200m since the takeover and breaching UEFA rules, requiring them to break even over three years. However, Chelsea insists there is no requirement to sell key squad members to meet regulatory thresholds. The club maintains their approach to player trading will be strategic rather than reactive. Cole Palmer, contracted until 2033, is viewed as a cornerstone of the squad. Despite these assurances, questions remain about how Chelsea will generate the necessary funds to address their financial deficit.
