UEFA Will Force Chelsea to Sell and Florentino Wants to Take Advantage

Real Madrid wants to take advantage of the situation Chelsea is experiencing, and the Whites will seek to sign two footballers who are highly desired by the Madrid entity presided over by Florentino Pérez.

They are Enzo Fernández and Cole Palmer, two vital footballers for the London-based Blues, who have been forced to endure this situation by UEFA.

UEFA has made it clear to Chelsea, at all costs, that they must strictly comply with Financial Fair Play. Since the club presented budgets of 153 million euros in profits above costs.

When it is something surprising,  since the English team has spent 464 million on signings, and 278 'kilos' in sales.

If UEFA finally decides to sanction Chelsea in this regard, they will have no choice but to sell important players who have a high salary. In that tier are both the Argentine, Enzo, and the Englishman Palmer. Two top-level footballers who would fit Real Madrid like a glove, to strengthen the midfield and winger positions.

A Very Harsh Punishment for Chelsea

UEFA has been so strict with this matter that Chelsea has been forced to sell the women's team. This has been to make it independent from the men's team.

Additionally, the newspaper The Times points out the following. "For UEFA, those 200 million euros don't count, nor does a good amount earned from selling hotels to sister companies of the club, another 90 million euros," it reports.

Therefore, Chelsea's accounts would go into the red if they don't manage to sell, as it is one of the solutions that can work best in the short term. The reality is that the London entity must work tirelessly to balance and comply with FFP and reduce it as much as possible.

An FFP That Still Needs to Be Met

Unlike in the Premier League, UEFA is not as lenient with this and doesn't allow actions to be written off to the same owner. Instead, it has to be to a completely different one.

Hence the difficulty and financial problems of Chelsea. Which has seen what many fans saw ahead of time when they decided to sign recklessly.

"Chelsea is negotiating with UEFA an agreement that will likely involve paying a financial penalty and accepting a spending plan for the next three seasons."

"That plan could include the threat of more severe sanctions, such as exclusion from European competitions for a season if they again exceed the limits," reports the English media. It also states that in May, the decision will be made on whether there will be a punishment or not. If so, Real Madrid would enter the scene.
