There is no doubt that Chelsea have been the main movers this transfer window. The Blues have up to seven new faces, spending over €200m.
With that kind of money, you'd think the London club would exceed 'Financial Fair Play' rules, but that couldn't be further from the truth. New owner Todd Boehy has a plan to get around this.
Their plan is very clear: long-term contracts to recoup big expenses every year. For example, Mudryk, who cost €100 million, signed an eight-and-a-half-year contract, meaning the real impact of the signing is €11.7 million per season. However, not everything would go so smoothly. Many clubs complained to UEFA about this and they passed a bill banning this type of refund.
