Chelsea could technically end the January transfer window in PROFIT despite £330m spending spree CFC
Chelsea’s spending under Todd Boehly could tip £650million if they get a deal for Enzo Fernandez over the line.Boehly hasn’t been afraid to put his hand in his pockets… which are apparently very deep. Very deep indeed…The American has only been in charge for seven months and has spent big, big bucks, but a clever accounting trick means the books at Stamford Bridge are still fairly balanced.
It would also take their January spending to almost £330m – which has left rival fans scratching their heads. Their biggest signing so far, Mykhailo Mudryk, signed a deal rising to £88m and was pinned down to a seven-and-half year contract. It means Chelsea have been able to divide that transfer fee equally between those years.
The 22-year-old has been linked with moves to Everton, Newcastle and his on-loan club last season Crystal Palace, with a bid of around £45m made by the Toffees.That would be written in their finances as 100 per cent profit for Chelsea, given he is a homegrown player and graduated from their academy.This way of working makes a great deal of sense and looks to have been a masterstroke from money-maker Boehly.
Chelsea will have to make a choice which of their signings they register for their Champions League squad for the rest of the season.Wesley Fofana, £72m – Leicester CityKalidou Koulibaly, £34m – NapoliCesare Casadei, £17.5m – Inter MilanPierre-Emerick Aubameyang, £10.
