Chelsea and Financial Fair Play rules:

According to the

Global Transfer Markt report by the International Football Federation or FIFA (FIFA)

, the global player transfer market that suffers from stagnation due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

Starting to come back to life again in the year 2022, with the total number around the world reaching

US $ 6,500 million.

That's a 33.5% increase from the $4,860 million figure in 2021.

For this reason, the

"Chelsea"

spent a lot of up to 389 million US dollars.

for the only winter market

Including spending money for the purchase of players, totaling up to

US $ 666 million, or 10% of the turnover of players in 2022

after changing the new owner

It therefore leads to the question

“When spending so much money

What is the risk of falling under UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules?

To avoid breaking

the Financial Fair Play rules, “Chelsea”

has opted to sign long-term contracts in order to

For this reason, we saw

"Benoit Badiyachil",

21 years old

, signed a

7 and a half year contract, "David Datro Fofana",

20 years old

, received a 6 and a half year contract,

, received an 8 and a half year contract,

or a new world champion striker like

"Enzo Fernandez",

22 years old, also received an

8 and a half year contract!

and to visualize this clearly

for example

Ukrainian technical wing

"Mick Hilo Mudrik",

the owner of about

$ 74 million with an 8 and a half year contract

will make

"Chelsea" the cost of "Mick Hilo Mudrik" only about $ 8.6 million. US per year, or in the case of "Enzo Fernandez" with an exorbitant price of 127 million US dollars

Because if in this number there are 2-3 people who don't fit in with the team, form deteriorates or in the worst case.

In addition to making the value of the players bought for speculation lower

**Note: UEFA recently revised its

Financial Fair Play rules

, setting a ceiling for each club to spend on wages, players and agents at

70% of a club's revenue.

It came into force in June 2022. However, UEFA has given all clubs a period of three years to adapt to this rule.

And most recently, in January 2023, UEFA announced that it was going to change the
