Chelsea are in talks with UEFA over a financial settlement after breaching the European governing bodyโs spending limits.
UEFA will not include the income Chelsea generated from selling its womenโs team to a sister company โ Blueco 22 Midco Ltd โ for ยฃ200million in their assessment calculations.
Unlike the Premier League, UEFA does not allow for the sale of tangible assets to sister companies to count towards their Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
This means the two hotels โ the Copthorne and Millennium โ Chelsea sold to Blueco 22 Properties Ltd, another sister company, for ยฃ76.5m in 2022-23, and the womenโs team sale in 2023-24, will not be recorded by UEFA.
For 2023-24, UEFA assessed the last two seasons, allowing clubs a maximum loss of โฌ80m. Deducting the asset sales from Chelseaโs calculation leaves them with a ยฃ237m loss over that two-year period, albeit that figure will reduce when allowable costs are deducted.
The most likely outcome from Chelseaโs dialogue with UEFA is that they will be required to pay a financial penalty.
An official announcement is expected in the coming months.

Enzo Maresca on the changes to the #Chelsea line-up:
"The ones that are going to start I think, are going to be the right ones. Also because we have a few back from injury [recently]. Playing after 72 hours isn't the best after you've come back from a long time or an injury."

"It's nice to win games, especially when it's a derby like Thursday, but that's gone and finished. Now we have the games ahead of us and hopefully we can win today as well."

Not starting Palmer and Jackson against a strong Brentford side who we donโt have a good record against was only one of the decisions that cost us 3 points ๐ต

STARTING XI:
Sanchez - 6: Made one good save but his distribution was shaky at times but did keep a clean sheet.
Gusto - 6: Was poor on a couple of occasions defensively, gave the ball away poorly. Going forward didnโt really offer anything concrete.
Tosin 8 - [MOTM]: Done his job well defensively. He was good on the ball playing through a few line breaking passes as well as carrying the ball forward.
Chalobah - 7: Was OK in the first half, in the second half he seemed to struggle a bit defensively and on the ball.
James - 7.5: Was caught out a few times when it came to crosses but he could recover. Safe on the ball, had a decent chance to score from a conner. Free-kicks deliveries were effective.
Caicedo - 8: As always, good defensively and good on the ball. Didnโt really put a foot wrong.
Fernandez - 7.5: The only player that was really willing to shoot. Played a few good balls into the paths of Madueke, sancho and Jackson but nothing came from them. Did get caught on the ball a couple of times.
Dewsbury-Hall - 6: Not really much to say, he tried leading the press but wasnโt really involved much.
Sancho - 5.5: A poor performance, never really creating opportunities to shoot or to play balls In behind.
Nkunku - 4: Poor performance not contributing to anything. Couldnโt keep hold of the ball or run in behind. Wasnโt really willing to press either.
Madueke - 6: Created a few shooting opportunities but overall below par, wasnโt willing to track back at all. Overall poor body language whenever something didnโt go his way.
SUBSTITUTES:
Jackson - 7.5: Came on and changed the game, good hold up play. He shouldโve had a goal through one of the two chances he had.
Palmer - 6.5: Wasnโt really involved as much as I wouldโve liked him to be. Had a really good chance( by his standards) to score right at the end.
Neto - 7: Provided a bit of energy upfront but nothing really concrete coming from his actions. Put in a good delivery for the Reece James header.
Cucurella - N/A
