GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
Boehly has recently taken in a trip to Saudi Arabia where he took time out to meet with Emenalo, according to the Daily Mail. The meeting comes amid speculation Chelsea must sanction £100 million ($128m) worth of player sales this summer to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. Chelsea offloaded a number of players to the Saudi Pro League last summer, waving goodbye to Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and N'Golo Kante.
GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
The Blues have already announced losses of £90.1m ($115m) in the 12-month period up to June 30, 2023 after spending heavily since Boehly arrived at the club. A summer clearout therefore looks increasingly likely in a bid to avoid sanctions for failing to comply with Financial Fair Play rules and to trim a bloated squad. Conor Gallagher has been linked with an exit, as he could bring a healthy profit as an academy graduate, while loanees such as Romelu Lukaku, Lewis Hall, Ian Maatsen, Armando Broja, and Trevoh Chalobah may all move on.
(C)GettyImagesDID YOU KNOW?
Chelsea have spent over £1 billion on players since Boehly bought the club in 2022. The club's record signing is midfielder Moises Caicedo who signed for £115m ($146m) from Brighton in August 2023.
