For its repeated breaches of financial fair play, Chelsea was pinned by UEFA on Friday.
The Blues were fined 10 million euros for their rule violations between 2012 and 2019, under the chairmanship of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.
The new owner of the London club, the American Todd Boehly, had himself reported these irregularities, which allowed Chelsea to avoid an even more painful one.
” Chelsea fully co-operated and assisted UEFA in their investigation and, following analysis by UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body, the club reached an agreement. Under it, the club must make a financial contribution of 10 million euros to UEFA in the form of a fixed payment. We would like to express our gratitude to UEFA for their consideration in this matter. Chelsea attach great importance to their relationship with UEFA and look forward to developing it in the years to come. “, can we read in a press release from the Blues.
