No one is stopping Chelsea in this summer transfer market, as the Blues kept spending money to bring in some of the best young talents worldwide. In this summer transfer window, the Blues have already spent more than 150M in the market and brought in new faces for various positions. Their latest resurgences were goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen and defender Aaron Anselmino. Recently, another piece of news came out related to Chelsea football club that the Blues received a 175 million injection from their owners this summer in the form of a new share issue.
Since the takeover of the Chelsea football club in 2022, Todd Boehly, or more specifically, BlueCo, has spent more than 1B in the past three or four transfer windows. The Blues were sometimes on the verge of breaking the profit and sustainability rules. But every time these kinds of situations are going to happen, the Chelsea board comes up with new ways to tackle the loss and try to make sure that they are not breaking the PSR.
Well, new updates are coming out about the Chelsea football club. According to the Companies House submission on Monday, Chelsea FC Holdings Limited purchased 1,000 new shares. Each share was purchased at a price tag of close to 1.75 million, which means the total investment is close to 175M. However, it is still very unclear whether the investment comes in the form of cash or the conversion of debt into equity.
How are Chelsea tackling PSR rules?
Chelsea have spent a huge amount in recent years after the takeover in 2022. But still, the Blues managed to get away from the Premier League PSR rules. Last season Premier League club Everton faced a point deduction after they breached the PSR rules.
So, Chelsea always try to find loopholes to bypass the PSR rules. Selling homegrown players is one of the methods that Chelsea are using right now to tackle the loss in the transfer market. This season the Blues also trying to sell homegrown players as much as possible. Enzo Maresca’s side already sold homegrown players this season such as Ian Maatsen, and Lewis Hall. Now the Blues are on the verge of selling their star midfielder Conor Gallagher to Spanish side Atletico Madrid to generate more money and to able to tackle the PSR rules.
More Chelsea news
Chelsea appointed Enzo Maresca as their new manager ahead of the pre-season campaign. But till now, the scenario is not good for Chelsea. The board has already spent more than 150M this summer on new players, mostly young. Enzo Maresca also focuses on bringing players who could improve the quality of the Sqaud. But things are not positive yet for the Blues. Chelsea were only able to secure one win out of five matches under the new boss and most interestingly lost three within this. Only one match left in the Pre-season before the start of the regular Premier League season, when they will face defending Champion Manchester City. So, changes need to be made by Maresca and there is no time left.
More players are joining Chelsea before the start of the Premier League. The Blues are close to signing two forwards, Samuel Omorodion from Spanish side Atletico Madrid and Pedro Neto from Premier League side Wolves. So, players keep coming in the Chelsea squad. However, some players might leave Stamford Bridge this summer. Gallagher’s move to Atletico Madrid is almost done and within one or two weeks, it will be completed. Lukaku is another player who also could leave the Club this summer but depends on the move of Victor Osimhen.
