The strangely long contracts offered by Chelsea to the last winter reinforcements already guaranteed raised suspicions with UEFA, which promises to act quickly to ensure that episodes like these will not be repeated.
According to the British newspaper The Times, the body that governs European football 'suspects' that this type of ties are nothing more than a strategy to prolong the amortization of investments, thus circumventing the regulations of financial fair play.
In that sense, adds the same publication, the direction led by Aleksander Ceferin will soon announce a new rule that will prevent clubs from 'tying up' their players for a period exceeding five years.
These suspicions are based on the contracts offered, this January, by the blues to players like Mykhaylo Mudryk (eight and a half years old), Benoit Badiashile (seven and a half years old) or David Datro Fofana (six and a half years old).
